Intelligent Retinal Imaging Systems (IRIS) Partners with Remidio Innovative Solutions Pvt Ltd to Provide Affordable Early Detection Systems for Diabetic Eye Disease

Intelligent Retinal Imaging Systems, Inc. (IRIS), the industry leader in telemedicine solutions for diabetic retinal disease, today announced a partnership with Remidio Innovative Solutions Pvt Ltd to bring their innovative smartphone based non mydriatic fundus camera to the U.S. market. Coupling the IRIS software & services program with an affordable and high-quality handheld camera will allow more service providers to successfully adopt a telemedicine program into their practices to examine, detect and diagnose retinal disease in diabetic patients.

“The IRIS and Remidio partnership will have a powerful impact on healthcare providers seeking to close care gaps and create better outcomes for their patients with diabetes,” said Steve Martin, CEO of IRIS. “The Remidio device is portable, affordable and takes high quality images, which supported by the IRIS algorithms will make it much easier to provide sight-saving exams to patients with diabetes.” The Remidio portable, smartphone based fundus cameras have been validated against high-end desktop imaging systems, in peer reviewed publications in PLOSOne, Nature Eye, Ophthalmology Retina, JAMA Ophthalmology, to name a few.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is enhancing the way retinal screenings can prevent blindness. The Remidio camera provides cutting edge, AI-ready capabilities, such as providing instantaneous image gradeability on the camera, so that the end user knows if the image is able to be graded for diagnosis. This is a critical feature, as the industry is moving to providing retinal exams in settings where there is limited connectivity, such as people’s home, on buses where screenings are performed, at screening events, as well as office settings. Partnering the capabilities of the IRIS and Remidio teams together will allow for collaboration on ways their combined technologies can improve diagnosing disease and preventing blindness.

IRIS was created for early identification of diabetes in patients to improve outcomes and to reduce downstream healthcare costs. This comprehensive solution, which just surpassed the milestone of performing over 500,000 patient exams, includes simple to use cameras, a secure, HIPAA compliant software platform, and a seamless electronic medical record (EMR) integration providing accurate diagnoses back to the ordering physician. Unlike others in the retinal telemedicine space, IRIS is the only solution that offers the highest gradeability rate in the industry, due in part to the caliber of the cameras, like Remidio, but also as a result of in-depth camera training and proprietary algorithms that IRIS has developed to enhance the images and allow for an effective diagnosis to be performed.

Remidio is an innovative ISO13485-certified integrated medical device & artificial intelligence company seeking to enhance healthcare access by creating technologies that are smart and easy to use. “By partnering with IRIS, we are part of a complete program that aligns and supports the IRIS mission to challenge the status quo, empower providers to face changing practice patterns, and deliver early detection of diabetic eye disease in primary care. ‘ This partnership is coming at the right time, with the per patient annual cost of managing diabetes at over $13,000 in the United states. We seek to bring this cost down by 30% through early detection, management, and treatment, with IRIS using Remidio Non Mydriatic Fundus On Phone cameras”, states Dr Anand Sivaraman, the CEO of Remidio Innovative Solutions.

PIESTANY, Slovakia, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Godfather of electronic music and innovator Jean-Michel Jarre becomes world’s first passenger to take off in KleinVision’s flying AirCar in preparation for Starmus Opening Concert also Featuring Sir Brian May of Queen.

KleinVision’s AirCar took to the skies with electronic music pioneer, Jean-Michel Jarre as its first passenger this month, signaling a new era of transportation innovation. AirCar, which received the Certificate of Airworthiness in January 2022, has already logged an impressive 130 flight hours and over 520 takeoffs.
“It is like being in a Jules Verne book, but for real! One second you speak to the driver, and next, you are up there in the air – an amazing experience!” said Jean-Michel Jarre after completing two flights in the AirCar at Piestany international airport.
The artist’s excitement was palpable as he marveled at the futuristic experience, perfectly reflecting the theme of his upcoming Starmus opening concert, ‘The Bridge from the Future’, powered by ESET, global digital security leader.
“AirCar addition to Starmus is a fantastic complement to our festival experience,” said Garik Israelian, PhD, astrophysicist at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands and co-founder of Starmus, alongside Sir Brian May. “It mirrors the exhilarating journey we embark on, starting with Jean-Michel and Brian’s monumental concert that propels us to new heights, soaring alongside artists and inspiring thinkers like Jane Goodall, and coming back to Earth with the wisdom of astronaut Chris Hadfield once the festival concludes.”
“AirCar will not only be part of the Starmus opening concert, it will also be showcased at Starmus Camp, which, together with the Stephen Hawking Medal Ceremony and nine Nobelists giving lectures, will turn Bratislava into the world capital of science.”
Film director Todd Douglas Miller, Emmy Award-winning filmmaker of Apollo 11, captured the historic moment as he filmed the AirCar soaring at 2500 feet. “It looks impossible. It looks like it’s doing something it should not be doing!” Miller remarked, highlighting the groundbreaking nature of AirCar.
Professor Stefan Klein, inventor and pilot, expressed his pride as Jean-Michel became the inaugural passenger on the groundbreaking aircraft. “From dreams to reality, we have taken flight together with Jean-Michel, opening a new era of transportation with a touch of magic,” said Klein, moments before completing another successful intercity flight from Piestany to Nitra.
Anton Zajac, co-founder of KleinVision and ESET, lauded the advancement the AirCar represents in blurring the lines between roads and skies. “We are bridging the gap between the road and the sky, giving cars the freedom they symbolized 50 years ago,” Zajac remarked.
The flights took place in Piestany, Slovakia, and marked a momentous step towards a future where terrestrial and aerial travel seamlessly converge.
