glaucare tackles the global problem of lack of access to ophthalmological care, impacting 2.5 billion people worldwide. Their mission is to prevent blindness caused by underdiagnosed eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy, especially in rural areas with limited medical resources.

They developed ophmo, a mobile eye clinic housed in a compact case equipped with various measuring devices and an app for data collection and visualization. Trained medical assistants use the ophmo case to conduct eye examinations remotely assisted by ophthalmologists who diagnose using the transmitted data. This portable solution facilitates eye care in underserved rural communities.

The ophmo case is a suitcase-sized mobile clinic containing an iPad with an app, five measuring devices, a visual acuity display board, and necessary accessories. Designed with usability in mind, it is easy to learn and use, requiring about a week of training for intermediate education level users.

The company has established contacts and distributors in West and East Africa and has tested its product in Kenya. Interest is growing also from South-East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, highlighting the broad potential global reach of their solution.
