Vistel builds AI‑enabled ophthalmic hardware that delivers portable, non‑mydriatic fundus imaging and rapid vision screening for low‑resource settings. Their RC350 and RX350 cameras capture 4K–8K retinal images and upload them to an on‑device AI platform for instant diagnostic reports, while the VS550 handheld screener provides automated refractive assessments with PDF output and DICOM integration. These tools enable community health centers, primary‑care clinics, and mobile health programs to perform comprehensive eye examinations without specialist operators.

Problem
Access to comprehensive eye examinations is limited in many community and primary‑care settings due to bulky, expensive equipment and the need for specialist operators, resulting in delayed detection of retinal diseases and refractive errors.
Solution
Vistel develops AI‑enabled ophthalmic hardware that brings high‑resolution fundus imaging and vision screening to mobile and low‑resource environments. Their portable, non‑mydriatic fundus cameras (RC350) and fully automatic camera (RX350) capture 4K–8K retinal images without pupil dilation and instantly upload them to a proprietary AI analysis platform, delivering diagnostic reports on‑device. A handheld binocular vision screener (VS550) performs rapid, automated refractive assessments for children and adults, generating PDF reports and risk alerts. All devices integrate with DICOM and support ID data capture, enabling seamless workflow integration for clinics, community health programs, and tele‑ophthalmology services.
Target Audience
Primary customers are community health centers, primary‑care clinics, vision screening programs in schools, and mobile health providers that require portable, AI‑driven eye examination tools.
