SEOUL, Aug. 29 (Korea Bizwire) — The Severance Hospital of the Yonsei University Health System said on August 28 that it has developed a mobile app to manage patients with trachoma jointly with KT. The “Trachoma App” can allow medical field workers to check the conditions of the eye disease with simple instructions. This is expected to come in handy in underdeveloped regions in the world where there are many trachoma patients with inadequate medical services. KT and the Severance Hospital are currently working with the Health Ministry of Malawi to distribute the app as part of a national health program. KT expects the number of healthcare field workers who can diagnose and treat the disease with the mobile app will rise to 500,000 by the end of this year.
