SALUS-A Study on Self-Tonometry for Glaucoma Patients: Design and Implementation of the Electronic Case File.

Background:  In times of omnipresent digitization and big data, telemedicine and electronic case files (ECFs) are gaining ground for networking between players in the health care sector. In the context of the SALUS study, this approach is applied in practice in the form of electronic platforms to display and process disease-relevant data of glaucoma patients.

Objectives:  The SALUS ECF is designed and implemented to support data acquisition and presentation, monitoring, and outcome control for patients suffering from glaucoma in a clinical setting.
