Beacon Sensors and Telerehabilitation to Assess and Improve use of Devices (BeST-AID) for Low Vision
Project Summary or Abstract The successful application of magnification devices for reading and daily tasks is predicated on their correct use by individuals with low vision (LV). Barriers related to transportation, geography, and/or health-related concerns often limit LV patients’ ability to attend several in-office training sessions as part of low vision rehabilitation (LVR) to optimize visual function with magnification devices. A promising solution is real-time videoconferencing to provide telerehabilitation, involving remotely delivered LVR services by a LVR provider in-office to a patient at home. Telerehabilitation for LV appears to be feasible and acceptable by both patients and LVR…
