Wearable eyewear that enhances ADHD patients lives
The Problem
Vizo aims to significantly enhance the quality of life for those who struggle with attention problems by utilizing cutting-edge technology and customized solutions.
Its proprietary Peripheral Retinal Stimuli technology (PRS™) uses peripheral vision as a therapeutic tool. Applying personalized minuscule color stimuli embedded in the lenses prompts an immediate effect on the attentional control mechanism.
When they reached Light-it, it had bugs in the system that allowed it to manage its solution. These cameras are crucial, as they carry out the studies of each patient, the configuration of the lenses according to the results of each test, the coordination of the appointments, and the management of the patient data in its CRM.
The Solution
We took over the software needed to manage the camera that carried out the eye testing. Using cameras with eye tracking, Vizo can personalize the treatment for each patient. This system also managed the patient's information and their appointments.
We configured, fixed, and improved its React frontend and the Node.js microservices to allow Vizo team provide an effective and frictionless service.
Tech Stack & Integrations
Technical Challenges
Takeover of the React web application that comprises the appointments and patient's user interface.
Connection between the cameras and the different microservices.
