Augmented Reality Mobile Application for Glaucoma Education in the South

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A team at the National Healthcare Group Eye Institute in Singapore have developed an augmented reality mobile phone application, EyeCU, to simulate glaucoma progression and enhance understanding about the disease and its course. It is a bilingual (English/Spanish) application that is free-to-download on the Android and Apple app store. As eye care physicians in the South Bronx, the investigators are hopeful that the findings in this study can be extrapolated to our patients in the South Bronx, where poor health literacy, non-adherence to glaucoma medication and poor follow-up remains a large barrier. The investigators hope that by offering the simulation in both English and Spanish, the investigators will not only be able to improve our patients' understanding of glaucoma, but also improve glaucoma treatment adherence and assess our patient population's responsiveness to augmented reality as an educational platform.

Clinical Trial Description

Experimental design: Pilot cohort study Data collection: Patient characteristics such as age, sex, ethnicity, preferred language, zip code, employment status, highest educational attainment, current topical eye medications, Past Ocular History, Past Medical History Recruitment for participation in the study will be performed during glaucoma clinic registration Consent will be conducted by a member of the research team who is not directly involved in the participant's clinical care Pre-intervention glaucoma knowledge questionnaire (NEHEP glaucoma knowledge questionnaire) will be given to participants, to be completed on dedicated clinic tablet device. Post-intervention glaucoma knowledge questionnaire (NEHEP glaucoma knowledge questionnaire) will be given to participants, to be completed on dedicated clinic tablet device. Rate of missed glaucoma follow-up appointments before and 6 months after application use will be collected from the electronic medical record. Rate of medication adherence before and 6 months after application use will be collected from the electronic medical record. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
