Problem
Limited access to eye care professionals and diagnostic tools, particularly in underserved regions, hinders early detection and timely treatment of eye conditions, leading to preventable blindness. Current imaging technology often captures a limited field of view, potentially missing critical areas of the retina where disease changes occur. AI technology for diagnosing and managing eye diseases is not universally accessible, exacerbating disparities in healthcare outcomes.
Solution
Siloam Vision develops and provides a suite of imaging and software tools designed to improve access to eye care and reduce preventable blindness across all ages. Their product line includes ultra-widefield imaging systems (iCam and iCam-OCT) that capture high-resolution images of the retina, and AI-powered software (iTelegen+ and iTelegen) that streamlines the management of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) exams and assists in diagnosis. The iCam and iCam-OCT offer both contact and non-contact imaging modalities, while the iTelegen platform facilitates collaborative care through guided scheduling, automated reminders, and secure data management. iTelegen+ incorporates AI algorithms to assist clinicians in identifying ROP, enhancing clinical accuracy and speed.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes ophthalmologists, neonatologists, and healthcare providers in hospitals, clinics, and critical care units, particularly those serving underserved populations and managing patients at risk for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).
Features
- iCam: Patented Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) camera for high-quality, ultra-widefield retinal imaging (up to 200 degrees with contact imaging, 145 degrees non-contact).
- iCam-OCT: Advanced Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system for high-resolution cross-sectional retinal imaging, including OCT-Angiography.
- iTelegen: ROP management software featuring guided patient scheduling, automated reminders, secure data storage, and remote image review.
- iTelegen+: AI-assisted ROP diagnosis, including automated detection of more than mild ROP and flagging of insufficient image quality.
- All-age imaging capabilities: Suitable for neonates, children, and adults.
- Flexible imaging modes: Contact and non-contact options available.
- Advanced light management: Requires less light intensity for patient comfort.
- Telemedicine capabilities: Enables remote diagnosis and collaborative care.
