Automatic retinal image analysis
Definition:
Automated Retinal Image Analysis (ARIA) is a technology based on medical artificial intelligence algorithms that autonomously processes and interprets fundus photographs. Its main objective is to identify microaneurysms, hemorrhages, and other early signs of retinal pathologies (such as diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration) in a matter of seconds and without initial human intervention.
Why is it key in the health sector?
At the clinical level, an ARIA system drastically reduces the time required for interpretation and timely referral to treatment. This allows general practitioners, nurses, and technicians to perform high-precision mass screenings, referring only suspected or confirmed cases to an ophthalmologist. It is a cost-effective tool for preventing avoidable blindness on a large scale.
Our technology, retinIA, uses Automatic Retinal Image Analysis (ARIA) to democratize visual health in Mexico, issuing reliable presumptive referrals in less than a minute for clinics, pharmacies, and preventive occupational health campaigns.
