Beacon Sensors and Telerehabilitation for Low Vision

Exclusion Criteria

• •schedules not permitting participation in planned study visits (including planning to move or take extended vacation during study period),
• •inability to understand study procedures or communicate responses to visual stimuli in a consistent manner (cognitive impairment as per TICS),
• •substance abuse,
• •significant hearing loss (unable to hear communication by phone or via videoconferencing),
• •significant medical condition likely to limit participation or lifespan, individuals who require other types of LVR training or intervention (e.g., technology/computer skills, psychosocial),
• •magnifier device has features that would not work in conjunction with the beacon sensors: (1) hands-free and do not have a place where the patient's hand is holding the device during use (therefore, they would not register a significant change in temperature), and/or (2) no surface area of at least 1"x1" to which the beacon sensor could be attached without interfering with the device.
