RETMARKER AUTOMATED AI TECHNOLOGY MONITORS AND PREVENTS RETINAL DISEASES' COMPLICATIONS
DR Screening
Every day diabetics from population-based screening programs and individual private practices are being screened in a highly reliable and affordable way.
The unmet needs
400M+ diabetics have high risk of blindness.
Even more if we considered the pre-diabetics.
Periodic eye imaging is mandatory to
identify the need for treatment.
There are not enough qualified human
resources to serve the diabetics.
RETMARKER’s AI
technology can
help
to minimize this problem.
What can Retmarker Screening offer?
Retmarker reduces the human burden, by safely removing diabetics with no signs of diabetic retinopathy.
Identification of target population (Diabetics)
Photograph taken by field technicians and sent to the Central Platform
Automatic Processing of Images with Retmarker AI technology.
Triage by human graders for suspicious cases
Final report with recommendations available
Relevant cases can be referred for medical treatment
enabling us to screen more people with the existent resources, clearly benefiting our patients.”
