Glaucare develops scalable ophthalmology solutions to bring eye care to underserved and rural populations worldwide. Our core goal is to prevent blindness by enabling early detection and remote diagnosis of major eye diseases through a combined hardware and software system.

We created ophmo, a hand-luggage-sized mobile eye clinic that includes measurement devices and an iPad app (or PDF form) for trained medical assistants. Data collected in the field is reviewed remotely by ophthalmologists to provide diagnoses and follow-up recommendations. The ophmo prototype was completed in early 2023 and successfully piloted at Kisii Eye Clinic in Kenya (May 2024).

Glaucare focuses on regions with severe ophthalmological undersupply (for example parts of Africa, South-East Asia and rural areas in OECD countries). Partners handle assembly and distribution; feasibility work for broader implementation in health systems (e.g., Rwanda in 2025) and AI-assisted image analysis are planned to improve diagnostic speed and accuracy.

Founded as glaucare GmbH (registered 25 May 2020) and based in Berlin, the team combines ophthalmologists, UX designers, IT specialists and medical-technology experts to deliver user-friendly telemedicine solutions. Contact: [email protected].
