Eye Checkup

Market position

The company contrasts EyeCheckup with comparable systems by the breadth of its outputs — pathologies linked to more than 20 diseases, plus CVD and CKD indications, rather than a single disease — and by validation across multiple prospective clinical trials and multiple camera types, including handheld hardware. It also emphasizes operation without pupil-dilating eye drops or an expert reader, and positions itself as affordable.

Technology

EyeCheckup applies hybrid deep learning algorithms to two image views per eye — macula-centered and optic-nerve-head-centered — and assigns disease severity levels according to clinical grading standards. The company reports 96% accuracy across three different cameras, including a handheld device, and describes accurate labeling of anomalies on fundus images in addition to disease-level classification. A separate model set analyzes OCT scans for 11 anomaly types. The company states it is the only AI eye-screening software developed in Europe validated in multiple prospective clinical trials, and that its glaucoma model is the only AI compared against a full clinical glaucoma diagnosis (with the corresponding article described as pending). A study of its diabetic retinopathy capability is described as published in Nature's Eye journal and evaluated at Moorfields Eye Hospital on 126,000 diabetes patients.

Go-to-market

The product is integrated with non-mydriatic fundus cameras, and the company maintains a dedicated sales and technical support center in Istanbul alongside a US contact office in San Francisco.

Screening settings that capture retinal images with non-mydriatic or handheld fundus cameras and OCT devices, where patients with suspected eye, cardiovascular or kidney disease can be triaged and referred to specialists without an on-site expert reader.
