Problem
Access to comprehensive eye examinations often requires patients to travel to specialized clinics, wait for appointments, and undergo tests using bulky equipment operated by on-site specialists, leading to delays and limited availability, especially in remote or underserved areas.
Solution
OftalmoAqui delivers tele‑ophthalmology services that connect patients at local partner units with ophthalmology specialists who remotely control high‑end diagnostic equipment in real time. The platform enables complete eye exams, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy screening, cornea and anterior segment assessment, dry‑eye evaluation, and refractive surgery candidacy checks without a specialist on site. Results, including prescriptions for glasses and medication, are encrypted, digitally signed, and made available on the patient’s mobile device within 24 hours. An AI‑assisted analysis layer speeds interpretation while maintaining diagnostic accuracy comparable to in‑person testing.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual patients seeking fast, high‑quality eye care, while secondary customers include clinics, hospitals, and municipal health programs that need to extend ophthalmology services without maintaining on‑site specialists.
