LinkedIn: /in/nick-de-pennington/ www.ufonia.com Dr Stephanie Campbell Founder and CEO, of OKKO Health Stephanie has worked as a specialist optometrist in hospitals (glaucoma, cornea and paediatrics), with a PhD research background. She is Founder and CEO of OKKO Health, a digital eye care start up in Bristol and London, and now expanding to the US. OKKO was founded to enable patients to self-monitor between clinic appointments and enable very prompt treatment when deterioration occurs. OKKO’s technology is vision science embedded video games - delivered as a clinically-prescribed app that harnesses the modern phone screens and sensors to provide much more clinical information than a traditional eye chart can. The vision data that OKKO is developing is being used to create digital biomarkers of vision, or perhaps even novel clinical end points. Ultimately, Stephanie is driving digital eye health towards being predictive and personalised, eye health that sits in the hands of the patient. www.okkohealth.com
