Step by step guide

Step 1 - Installing the software

The Thomson Near Chart software is installed on your PC and linked to our Remote Test server.

Step 2 - Linking your Phone or Tablet

A mobile device is linked to the Thomson Near Chart using a QR code or link. An unlimited number of devices may be connected. The device may be in the consulting room, in the patient’s home or indeed – anywhere in the world!

Step 3 - Calibrating your device

A few simple calibration measurements are taken from the device to ensure that all the tests are correctly sized irrespective of the size of the device.

 

Step 4 - Selecting a test

Run the Thomson Near Chart on your PC then choose the near chart/test that you want to use and it will appear almost instantaneously on the device being viewed by the patient – no wires, no passing the device forward and backwards between the patient and clinician!

Step 5 - Customising tests

Select the test that you want to use then customise the test to your exact requirements.

 

Step 6 - throw away all those yellowing test types and Mallett units!

Throw away all those yellowing test type cards, fading amsler charts and clunky old boxes and enjoy the Thomson Near Chart!

How much?

How it works ...

 

The Thomson Near Chart system is an App which runs on any PC running Windows 10 or later.  The App establishes a two way link with any tablet or smartphone via the Thomson Remote Test Cloud server. The tablet or smartphone is linked to the App using a QR code or a link sent by the App. The App interrogates the tablet or smartphone to establish its resolution and then performs a simple calibration to establish the screen size.

 

The App then generates bespoke calibrated images which are sent via the Thomson Remote Test Cloud server which are displayed almost instantly on the device.  This means that the tests and images are correctly scaled irrespective of the size or resolution of the device.

The Thomson Near Charts can be displayed in the tablet’s own browser.  However, for best results, use the free apps available for both Apple and Android devices.  Download these below:
