SYSTEM AND METHOD ENABLING AFFORDABLE MEASUREMENT, MONITORING AND REPORTING OF INTRA-OCULAR PRESSURE, COMBINED WITH SYSTEM FOR TOPICAL MEDICATION DELIVERY, APPROPRIATE FOR OFFICE OR HOME-BASED USE

摘要

A combined intraocular pressure (IOP) measuring and eye medication dispensing device may include a first micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) sensor to generate IOP measurements of a living organism's eye; a medication dispensing device to dispense medication into the living organism's eye; a second MEMS micro-dispenser to interface with the medication dispensing device and to control the dispensing of the medication into the living organism's eye; and an analog-to-digital (A-to-D) converter to receive control signals. The A-to-D converter may communicate the control signals to the first MEMS sensor or the second MEMS micro-dispenser; receive the generated IOP measurements from the first MEMS sensor; receive medication dispensing parameters from the second MEMS microdispenser or medication dispensing device, and communicate the generated IOP measurements or the medication dispensing parameters. The device may also include a communications interface to receive the control signals from one or more processors in an external control module.
