Ophthalmologic Telemedicine: See all the Possibilities | Dr. April Maa, M.D.

Dr. April Maa is currently an Associate Professor with Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, in the Comprehensive Ophthalmology Section.  She began her career with Emory and the Atlanta VA in 2008, after finishing medical school and ophthalmology residency in Texas. In 2015, she led the development of Technology-based Eye Care Services (TECS) with 3 pilot sites in the Atlanta VA catchment area, which is since grown to a national program serving more than 30,000 patients last fiscal year, covering over 60 sites across 20 participating VAMCs.  She currently serves as the Tele-Specialty Care Director of the Southeast Region (Veterans’ Integrated Service Network 7) and is responsible for TECS, tele-dermatology, and tele-pain sections of the Clinical Resource Hub (CRH).

This talk will cover current VA ocular telehealth programs and future directions, including our research and collaborations for AI, predictive analytics, and very early preliminary results from the Eye911 trial that I am running right now.
