iCare and Evolucare have launched a distribution partnership in AI solutions

iCare and OphtAI, a French Evolucare Technologies company, have launched a distribution partnership. iCare will now offer OphtAI analysis in EMEA and Canada for its iCare ILLUME retinal screening solution based on retinal images.

OphtAI is one of the most advanced AI retinal image analysis providers. The iCare ILLUME retinal screening solution uses AI-generated image analysis for diabetic retinopathy screening and, in the future, for other eye diseases. The iCare ILLUME solution supports clinical decision-making and is based on high-quality image data produced by iCare's retinal imaging devices and cloud-based software solutions. AI enables the efficient processing of large numbers of images, thereby improving screening accessibility. This holistic solution optimizes patient care pathways and the processes of eye care professionals.
 
"Our mission is to keep the wonderful world visible to everyone. We are one of the leading developers of eye diagnostic devices, and our software solutions are increasingly important in eye care pathways. Through this partnership, we further strengthen our offering by providing our customers with more options, each with its benefits. All our solutions have top-notch performance, and we have validated the OphtAI solution's performance in diabetic retinopathy screening. OphtAI is particularly strong in the French market, where EDC Lamy will continue as our valued exclusive distributor for imaging devices. We see opportunities for expansion into new geographical areas through our collaboration," says Pirjo Kortteisto, Business Line Director at Icare Finland.

"Based on our previous partnerships, we have seen that the OphtAI solution is perfectly in line with the needs of optical professionals, making AI increasingly essential in healthcare. The integration of OphtAI into iCare ILLUME proves that AI can be intelligently integrated into practitioners' tools. We are convinced that it will add value to the daily work of optometrists and ophthalmologists," says Alexandre Le Guilcher, Innovation Director at Evolucare Technologies.
