Make to Care è nato nel 2016 proprio dalla collaborazione con Maker Faire Rome che da subito ha accolto con entusiasmo la nostra volontà di raccogliere idee che potessero migliorare il quotidiano di chi con coraggio affronta una qualche forma di disabilità. Idee che nascono fuori dai contesti classici dell’innovazione. Negli anni, insieme, abbiamo raccolto centinaia di progetti e prototipi, abbiamo dato voce a spunti davvero rivoluzionari, intercettando, mappando e alimentando l’ecosistema della Patient-driven-Innovation.

What is the context of your innovation?
Currently, it is estimated that billions of people suffer from eye diseases around the world and only some of them receive adequate treatment. These data underline the urgency of developing tools that can help improve the diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases, reducing untreated cases and related diagnostic costs
What is your project about?
Maculopathy is a disabling disease that leads to a reduction in the visual field. It has been shown that through specific rehabilitation it is possible to compensate for this visual limitation. We are developing an eye-tracking system that works with low-cost cameras while maintaining its high accuracy.
What are the next steps?

The team consists of six students from the ITS Academy Meccatronico Veneto in Vicenza. ITS is a school of technological that combines theoretical lessons, practical laboratory activities, and hands-on experience directly within Italian companies. The synthesis of these three components, along with collaboration with ERA Ophthalmica, has driven this innovative project forward.
