Funded Activity Summary
Smart technologies for people with vision impairment and blindness. Our technological solutions for early detection of disease provide the best opportunity for effective treatment, and provision of strategies capable of assisting individuals. It aims to empower primary care providers and will lead to more effective screening methods and improved efficiencies in redirecting resources towards those whose eye disease is treatable. It will further improve and enable access to specialist eye care for those living in rural, regional and remote locations. The assistive technologies for the blind will greatly enhance the quality of life of the visually impaired, enhancing their quality of life and removing several risk factors. The net annual savings to the Government from these projects would be considerable.Funded Activity Details
