The traditional exam for diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening requires an eye care specialist to dilate a patient’s eyes and examine the back of the eyes—an expensive process that requires long waits for appointments and keeps specialists from focusing on patients who need treatment. Even though early DR detection and treatment can reduce the risk of blindness by 95%1, as many as 50% of Americans with diabetes do not receive their annual eye exam2, making DR the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults.
The EyeArt platform solves these problems by making the detection of DR more accessible while improving efficiency, accuracy, and cost. For the first time, fully autonomous, real-time DR screening can be performed by non-specialists at primary care practices, diabetes centers, and other frontline care settings during a patient’s routine office visit with highly accurate results available in seconds. Positive cases are referred to eye care specialists, ensuring their time is optimized for assessing and treating complex cases. The FDA-cleared EyeArt AI System is the most extensively validated AI technology for autonomous DR detection, tested on over 500,000 patients globally with 2 million images collected in clinical environments.
“Early adopters have told us that the EyeArt system is a real clinical game changer, making real-time DR screening possible at point-of-care settings by freeing up eye care professionals so they can focus on more complex clinical tasks,” said Frank Cheng, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Eyenuk. “We are enormously proud to be recognized by Juniper Research as an innovator and disruptor in the industry as we continue to develop products for additional disease indications.”
