First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at whether people with diabetes who are at high risk for diabetic retinopathy (an eye disease that can cause blindness) can use a smartphone game app to monitor their vision from home. 55 participants used the app over 6 months to play vision-testing games. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, especially for those who find it hard to attend regular clinic appointments.
