About RetInSight
RetInSight GmbH, based in Vienna, was founded in 2020 with the ambition that longevity should not come at the expense of vision loss. We aim to enable people to maintain their full vision in order to preserve their quality of life and lifelong autonomy.
Therefore, we are developing transformative AI-based software solutions that leverage routine optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to monitor and detect progressive retinal diseases such as GA, neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) – the most important age-related diseases that lead to visual impairments in today’s world.
Our mission is to revolutionize ophthalmology through reliable, affordable and easy-to-use AI-based medical software that enables timely diagnosis, accurate monitoring, and personalized treatment of retinal diseases for anyone, any time and at any location by supporting networked care in ophthalmology with the help of AI technology and digital data.
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.
