Design Specifications
The system is based on an Eye Tracking device, which is a sensor that monitors the progress of the eye muscles’ movement while the patient is reading or playing in the app. The biometric data obtained is processed to provide the following parameters related to reading performance: words read/minute, number of stops on each word, number of times the reader goes back, reading speed, reading difficulties and more. A predictive model provides statistical indicators of the improvement of reading ability. The system aims to provide remote eye therapy in low resource settings, since the current number of optometrist cannot cover the demand.

Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters
The app should be playful and easy to use as it is intended for children. Specifications for the mockups design are unknown.
Vetted Performance Status
From a pilot in Barrio San Francisco, Paraguay, the manufacturers found, after a therapy session with Okimo on each child, that 16% of the sample presented visual problems, 55% of the children could’t clearly read words or letters, and that 22% had a slow reading speed.
Safety
Okimo app presents no risk for the electronic equipment or the children that use the software. The non-invasive sensor to track the eye movement doesn’t represent a hazard either.
Complementary Technical Systems
Laptop and eye-tracking sensor

Compliance with regulations
All eye trackers have been tested and approved by certified labs according to the European standard for optical radiation hazards of different lamps and lamp systems, IEC/EN 62471. Light emission that meets this standard is not harmful to the human eye.Interview with manufacturer
Evaluation methods
Pilot studies in 3 different countries (Paraguay, Philippines and UK) with more than 500 children, presenting results about the prevalence of visual problems, the children’s reading speed, and difficulties to read words or letters.Interview with manufacturer
