TearScience has teamed with CheckedUp in a nationwide partnership to allow patients at the point of care to use the CheckedUp Engagement platform for education about their disease, the two companies announced in a press release.
The companies have agreed that TearScience representatives will provide their customers with the CheckedUp Explorer waiting room package, the first of four components in the system. CheckedUp Explorer includes a 43-inch flat panel TV and a monthly updated HD video program.
“Patients participate in their own care more effectively when they’ve had a chance to learn about their options, but time and staff limitations make it challenging to provide education in a busy practice,” TearScience’s senior vice president of sales and marketing Tom Chirillo said. “CheckedUp Explorer will allow each practice to shape the information presented about management of meibomian gland disease and chronic dry eye to encourage patient self-selection and discussion in ways that fit the physician’s preferences.”
