International Tele-Opthalmology Working Group (ITOWG)

Due to considerable demand from around the globe for tele-ophthalmology, we are in the process of establishing a Working Group for Tele-ophthalmology under ISfTeH. ITOWG and its activities will promote the use of telemedicine in fields related to ophthalmology and optometry. It will support and advice the use of Tele-ophthalmology among new professionals, and also contributing to its development, producing innovation, knowledge, techniques, results and impacts.

We expect ophthalmologists, optometrists, eye care providers, nurses, researchers and industry to be member of this WG and contribute their expertise to the group. We will have a blog for this WG and expect to have regular web-conference sessions talking about various tele-ophthalmology projects from around the world. We are also interested to establish a project database from around the world which will have access to our members only.

This WG is coordinated by Prof Yogesan from Australia who is also a former Board Member of the ISfTeH.
