Abstract

Purpose : To establish a comprehensive database for dry eye by incorporating a mobile health (mHealth) app to the Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization (ToMMo) cohort study.

Methods : Among ToMMo cohort study participants above the age of 20 who have received a health examination at the Sendai community support center, additional examination was performed using DryEyeRhythm, an mHealth app for dry eye research. Electronic consent was obtained through the app. Dry eye-related information was collected, including disease-specific questionnaire (Japanese version of Ocular Surface Disease Index, J-OSDI) responses, maximum blink interval (MBI), demographics, and lifestyle patterns. A second examination was performed 1 month after the initial exam using the same app. Users with reported J-OSDI > 13 total points and measured MBI < 12.4 seconds were determined as having “app-based dry eye.”

Results : 2,701 individuals visited the Sendai community support center for an examination between August 2021 and June 2022. Of these people 1,380 individuals agreed to participate. 1,220 participants (mean age 51.4±14.0; female 74.4%) were included and a total of 4,536 DryEyeRhythm data points were collected. 379 participants met the criteria for app-based dry eye (31.1%; mean age 52.7±14.0; female 85.0%). J-OSDI and MBI were significantly worse in participants with app-based dry eye compared to those without app-based dry eye (median [IQR], J-OSDI: 22.9 [18.2-33.3] vs 8.3 [4.2-12.5], P < 0.001; MBI: 2.3 [0.9-6.9] vs 15.7 [3.5-30], P < 0.001). 634 (52.0%) participants received a second examination using DryEyeRhythm.

Conclusions : This is the first known study to create a comprehensive database for dry eye that integrates genomics and personalized health data with traditional dry eye-related markers in the population-based cohort study. These results may have implications for future clinical implementations of biobank data, bringing genomic medicine to practice.
