Access to specialist eye care is limited by the need for specialized equipment and trained personnel, resulting in delayed diagnoses and treatment for many patients. Barriers such as geographic location, lack of convenience, and high costs prevent patients from receiving timely retinal screenings. This leads to poor patient outcomes and increased disease progression.

AI Optics has developed Sentinel, a handheld imaging device integrated with AI-based disease screening modules, to provide accurate retinal diagnostics at the point of care. The device combines high-performance imaging with AI algorithms to enable immediate and affordable screening for vision-related diseases. Its point-and-shoot capabilities and guided screening procedure facilitate seamless workflow integration. The technology aims to overcome barriers to specialist assessments, enabling widespread screening and early detection of retinal diseases.
