OKKO Health

OKKO builds smartphone-gamified software that allows individuals to measure their vision accurately at home. For patients with most eye diseases, including diabetic eye disease and macular degeneration, this means that eye health can be tracked between in-person clinic visits. For eye specialists, it means that tele-ophthalmology is now possible. With three-minute weekly monitoring, OKKO’s home-monitoring technology aims to reduce in-person follow-ups by 50 percent, ensuring eye patients go to the hospital and are seen at the right time. OKKO’s app is currently available on iOS, and the venture is working to release an Android version in 2021.
