Ophtas is a fully automated AI service for early, quick and convenient detection of diseases through retinal check.
Retinal imaging and analysis is an only non-invasiveness and highly informative test method to check the smallest blood vessels and nerves status. It widely used in medical practice to diagnose: diabetic retinopathy,
glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration. Used for early signs detection: cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease.
Текущее состояние
We are developing MVP. Ophtas is a service but under hood consist of a robotic fundus camera (for retina imaging) and cloud AI (for recognition of diseases manifestations). So for POC we created separated links of the chain (mechanic positioning, camera + optics, image stitching, AI prototype).which are assembling for MVP now.
Рынок
According to current medical guidelines, the retinal check is recommended to all healthy people once a year, and in the presence of serious diseases - once a quarter. For example, in the US the healthcare spending increases by 9.6k per year and decreases in lifespan by 2-12 years when the patient passes from a state of prediabetes (80M people) to diabetes (36M people).
Проблема или Возможность
End users for Ophtas service are people, literally everyone. But main customers are insurance companies and clinics. Entities who actually pay in the developed world for diagnostics and treatment. We offer cost reduction because of inexpensive retinal check-ups and effective and cheap treatment when disease recognized on early stage.
Решение (Продукт или Услуга)
Ophtas service saves time for end-user and money for personal and public budgets.
The existing competitor is an ophthalmologist with a sophisticated fundus camera. But good doctors are not scalable, have limited throughput, cost a lot, not accessible in some areas.
Преимущества или дифференциаторы
We offer full and convenient service of inexpensive and accessible retinal tests. Good service is the hardest thing to copy. We have R&D in Ukraine so we have a price advantage in access to high-quality hardware, software, and medical professionals. Access to medical data for ML purposes much easier in Ukraine than in developed countries.
Финансы
The price is 20-30 USD per test (on different markets). The cost of the test is about 5 USD. One device could make at least 4k tests per year. Every 1k devices will create revenue of at least 80M.
Бизнес-модель
The business model is B2B2C: pay-per-use or personal subscription. Cooperation with insurance companies and doctors to flow patients for checking using Ophtas. Cooperation with existing networks (optics, pharmacy, clinic and etc) to create the additional service for clients testing.
Целевое назначение инвестиций
We need investments to complete MVP (HW+SW+AI) and pilot projects in Ukraine
Some giant company with unlimited resources will decide to enter to exact our market. And its purpose will be to destroy all possible competitors. New technology will appear that will offer easy control of all biological parameters of the body (for example sophisticated nanorobots). We all die)
