University Hospital Galway has won a national innovation award for a special home-based eye monitoring system.
The Ocular Perfusion Pressure Monitoring – or H-BOP – system monitors and manages glaucoma.
It’s improved patient response, and has led to a 25 percent increase in the timely adjustment of glaucoma treatments.
It’s now won a top award at the HSE Bright Sparks Awards, which recognise excellence in innovative projects.
