Macular Degeneration
Every fourth German over the age of 60 suffers from age-related macular degeneration AMD. Statistically, the widespread disease affects half a million people, about 42,000 in the Lübeck region. AMD is not considered curable, but its course can be significantly influenced if patients react in time. A globally unique, German-Danish medical project with doctors from Lübeck, Roskilde and Køge is therefore focusing on early detection via an app. The first tests have been promising.
