Clinical trials were held at Counties Manukau DHB in its central and satellite units, as well as a private optometrist in Palmerston North.<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder Ehsan Vaghefi says the company has been working hard over the past year to convert the AI from a research tool into a medical product and it is now registered in India and the United States as such.<\/p>\n<p>The medical product includes the development of a special camera to take the necessary images, clinical audit functionality and a platform to capture patient information and present the results to clinicians.<\/p>\n<p>The new technology is now being used in the largest eye hospital chain in the world, Aravind in India, which sees around four million patients a year and performs around 500,000 eye surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a system of that scale, a tiny bit of technological advance introduces a lot of efficiencies,\u201d explains Vaghefi.<\/p>\n<p>He adds that the economies of scale of providing a medical Device-as-a-Service on the cloud with a large population are huge. While New Zealand does not have that scale, it benefits from the reduction in labour costs from not having a specialist view all screening images.<\/p>\n<p>He says the tool could expand existing screening capacity by 50 percent and reduce labour costs by nearly a third, allowing more patients to access these services, including those in under-served areas.<\/p>\n<p>Toky Eyes is also partnering with some US companies that provide screening stations, essentially providing the \u201cbrain behind the process\u201d, Vaghefi says.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of this year, THEIA is going to be operating in around 100 locations across a couple of states, rising to around 500 locations by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Article originally published on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hinz.org.nz\/news\/606538\/Kiwi-AI-tool-launches-in-India.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #f0964f;\">www.hinz.org.nz<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By: \u00a0eHealthNews.nz editor Rebecca McBeth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Artificial Intelligence retinal screening tool, developed in New Zealand, is being used in 20 eye clinics in India and is about to launch in the United States.
