Problem
Diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes, often goes undetected until it causes significant vision loss. Traditional screening methods require specialized equipment and trained personnel, limiting accessibility, especially in primary care settings and remote locations. This leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment, increasing the risk of permanent vision impairment for diabetic patients.
Solution
Oivi offers an automated fundus camera designed for point-of-care diabetic retinopathy screening. The system integrates custom optics, robotics, and AI to simplify the screening process, enabling early detection and rapid diagnosis. By moving screening to primary care centers, diabetes clinics, and pharmacies, Oivi aims to reach high-risk patients who may not have regular access to ophthalmologists. The technology facilitates timely intervention, reducing the likelihood of severe vision loss and associated healthcare costs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes primary care physicians, endocrinologists, diabetes clinics, pharmacies, and eye hospitals seeking to expand diabetic retinopathy screening to a broader patient base.
