About Project

Approximately 253 million visually impaired people worldwide, 89% of whom live in resource-limited environments. Most blindness is caused by chronic diseases, which progress very slowly and can be prevented through early screening and treatment.

However, in regions lacking medical professionals and infrastructure, it is difficult to provide timely services. Diseases that cause fundus-based blindness, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, account for about 25% of total blindness worldwide. We define these conditions as “preventable blindness.”

The EYELIKE PLATFORM offers an ecosystem with the following components:

First, a portable digital ophthalmoscope (2021). By upcycling smartphones, we created an ophthalmoscope that facilitates retinal exams and is designed for use by community healthcare professionals.

Second, an app provided with a web-based dashboard (2022) supports remote ophthalmology, allowing the collection, analysis, and visualization of patient data.

Third, an AI-based clinical decision support system (AI-CDSS, 2024). Finally, an online donation module (2025) connects patients in financial need with donors worldwide, supporting continuous treatment.
