Perivision and its software combining artificial intelligence and complex algorithms to carry out vision examinations received support from FIT via a Tech Growth loan of CHF 300,000.
PeriVision and its innovative headset for eye examinations
Faced with the prevalence of eye diseases and their increase due to demographic change, healthcare systems are short of ophthalmologists and optometrists. Most of the problem stems from the vision tests currently in use: multiple tests that require a lot of time (around 15-30 minutes per test) and resources (1 assistant and a dedicated room), are expensive and unreliable, with a margin of error of 10-30%. These inefficiencies result in bottlenecks, with patients losing their ocular vision due to inadequate testing and treatment.
The software developed by PeriVision incorporates complex algorithms based on artificial intelligence, making it possible to obtain extremely accurate test results and even to predict future developments. This software is integrated into a virtual reality headset. Thanks to its speed of analysis, ease of use and automated instructions, the PeriVision system is helping to increase the flow of optometry and ophthalmology patients by 30%.
The CHF 300,000 Tech Growth loan granted by FIT will be used by PeriVision to win more customer contracts, as well as to develop and integrate new functionalities into its system (new tests, diagnostics and prognoses algorithms).
