@paulg Have you already talked with @solvemed and @chrost_hugo?

Tried out @solvemed’s “digital penlight” app for iOS & I gotta say I’m impressed!

The app seems to accurately detect/track my pupil & measure the change in size with light. 📲👁️📏

Cool example of a digital health tool that can improve quality & make my job a little easier!
