A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT

Not every patient
starts with letters.

A look towards a striped target can open up a different approach to acuity assessment.

Peekaboo brings high-contrast grating stimuli, visual rewards and adjustable assessment settings together on an iPad. It gives health professionals a practical way to engage patients who cannot complete traditional acuity tests.

BUILT AROUND THE RESPONSE

A simple task.
A little encouragement.

Grating targets create the task. Sound and animation options help keep the assessment engaging. The health professional stays at the centre of the process.

THE PEEKABOO JOURNEY

Clinical beginnings.
A new chapter.

From NHS development and early research to continued development and access through IDCP Scotland.

THE BEGINNING

Rooted in clinical practice.

Peekaboo Vision grew from work by the Medical Devices Unit at NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and the Glasgow Centre for Ophthalmic Research, bringing clinical and technical expertise together.

2014–2016

A research foundation.

Early prototype work explored tablet-based acuity assessment. Related research investigated the photometric characteristics of tablet screens for high-contrast acuity testing.

IDCP Scotland takes shape.

Founded in Glasgow with a focus on medical technology, ophthalmology and digital health, IDCP Scotland connects engineering development with the needs of clinical practice.

IDCP Scotland continues the app’s development and brings it to health professionals across Great Britain, with updated access arrangements, organisation licensing and direct product support.

We acknowledge the clinicians, researchers and technical contributors behind Peekaboo’s original development. Historical publications describe the work studied at that time; current use follows the applicable release instructions.
