For SaMD, intended purpose is fundamental. It defines what the software does, who it is for and the clinical purpose it supports.
It also helps determine risk, evidence requirements and how the software should be designed, tested and monitored.
Who is the manufacturer of SaMD?
It’s not necessarily the company that writes the code. The manufacturer takes responsibility for the device’s intended purpose, safety, performance and regulatory compliance throughout its lifecycle.

Dry eye care shouldn’t stop when patients leave the practice.
Symptoms change daily. Remote monitoring can help track symptoms, support adherence and flag when intervention is needed.
Better engagement. Better outcomes.

👉 So why is care still limited to in-person visits?
Remote patient monitoring =
✔ Ongoing symptom tracking
✔ Better adherence
✔ Earlier intervention
