Join a powerful, unprecedented alliance for better eye health for all.
Join IAPBTechnological solutions are one of the tools we need to use to ensure that the hardest to reach have access to the eye health services they need.
While a change in approach and major investment is needed to increase the number of health care workers delivering eye care, it will not keep pace with the growing and changing demand in many countries.
Technological solutions are one of the tools we need to use to ensure that the hardest to reach have access to the services they need.
Examples include:
Technology is already transforming our sector and provides the tools to improve access and reach the hardest to reach. This means we have to include technology appropriately in our service delivery models, develop means to assess, accredit and regulate technology and ensure there is constant focus on those technologies which will help improve access.
This will require our sector to not only facilitate the use of technology in eye health but work with new and existing partners to ensure that is it integrated within wider health systems and that new technologies are incentivised and shared globally to be used where most needed.
Equally, we have to ensure this technology is also being harnessed to improve health information systems and get the data we need to assess, monitor and track progress in eye health.
The IAPB Technology Special Interest Group is a community of IAPB members and professionals working in eye health who share a common interest in the use of technology to improve eye health.
Subscribe to the group’s mailing list now to receive updates around technology and participate in discussions around IAPB and sector initiatives involving technology in eye health that improve impact and access to eye care services.
