Product Director Bristol, England
Job description
## About OKKO
At OKKO Health we are building technology to protect sight and avoid blindness. We are developing home-monitoring apps for measuring vision - we embed deep vision science behind simple games on smartphones and tablets. This has potential applications across clinical practice, scientific research and in R&D of new drugs and devices.
We’re not just building apps to measure vision the way it’s been done for decades on the eye chart. We use well-established science and leverage research to develop new vision tests to capture insightful data using home monitoring technology. We strive to harness this data to identify problems with sight at the earliest opportunity and really have an impact on people’s lives.
