About RetInSight

RetInSight is the first company to introduce an MDR CE-certified AI-solution for use in clinical routine by eye care specialists. The company was founded in April 2020 as a spin-off from the Department of Ophthalmology & Optometry of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria. RetInSight develops transformational AI-based medical devices and services using OCT images and does this with a clear vision: living longer shall not mean seeing less.

To accomplish this goal, RetInSight develops certified AI-based solutions for therapeutic monitoring and diagnostic screening according to the highest quality standards. RetInSight further owns an extensive library of validated algorithms for use in (bio)pharmaceutical clinical and scientific studies (CAIRE). Upon certification, these algorithms are made available for use in clinical routine, after already having been applied in large population-based data sets and presented in publications in peer-reviewed journals. In this way, RetInSight helps bridge the gap between superior outcomes observed in clinical trials and inferior benefits obtained at high cost in real life, for the most predominant retinal diseases of our times.​ And by bringing together the most advanced technologies in computer science, state-of-the-art clinical expertise as well as medical science, we are optimally positioned to help shape the future of precision medicine.

Therapeutic monitoring services for Ophthalmologists

Our AI solutions support the leading OCT devices and can be integrated into diverse ophthalmic software systems, such as PACS and EMR, reducing operational effort and cost, saving time for patient care. As a game changer in retinal disease management, RetInSight develops fully automated cloud-based algorithms to reliably identify, localize and quantify all types of pathologies and relevant biomarkers, e.g. fluid in routine OCT examinations.

Diagnostic screening services for Opticians and Optometrists

In a patient-centric manner, opticians and optometrists may cooperate and benefit from real-time OCT image analysis in a user-friendly and plausible format. Eye care professionals are empowered by an objective, quantifiable and reproducible evaluation of each individual patient‘s condition.
