Optain Health, an emerging artificial intelligence company, has acquired EyePACS to expand its reach in eye disease screenings. This acquisition enables Optain to combine its AI-powered technology with EyePACS’ nationwide teleophthalmology network to improve access to early disease diagnosis in primary care. The aim of the two companies is to prevent avoidable blindness and improve patient care through early detection of diseases.
EyePACS, which grew out of the University of California, San Francisco, has supported over 740 clinical sites over the past two decades. These locations include, but are not limited to, federally qualified health centers and community health programs. The platform has already identified over 140,000 cases of serious, vision-threatening diseases among 1.5 million patients screened. The integration of EyePACS into the Optain platform will significantly increase the reach and efficiency of eye disease screenings.
Optain Health plans to continue to expand its technology and integrate it into additional health systems and community programs. Optain’s platform is already deployed in 200 locations worldwide, with over 1,000 additional deployments planned. These include seven major U.S. health systems and one of the largest primary care groups in the country. Optain’s technology makes it possible to detect eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration early, while assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Optain Health’s acquisition of EyePACS is viewed as a significant step toward improving eye health. Combining Optain’s AI-powered imaging technology with EyePACS’ extensive network creates a comprehensive product that enables rapid, non-invasive testing. These tests can be performed anywhere and provide multilingual patient instructions to reach diverse communities. Investing in integrating and improving both platforms is seen as crucial to closing supply gaps.
