Company mission
To disrupt the eyecare space with transformative software
Our take
Lutra is a health management platform focused on optometry (eyecare). It’s technology helps patients connect with surgeons and optometrists, whilst the latter can collate data and ensure that patient care can be completed away from the hospital.
Lutra Health’s flagship platform enVoi improves the communication efficiency between patients and doctors. Optometrists can use it to receive patient information, reduce costs, and deliver bespoke videos to help patients better understand procedures. Surgeons can use enVoi to analyse and prioritise patient information, whilst patients receive appointment reminders and referral copies.
With the platform aiding these three sides of the eyecare sector and its focus specifically on optometry management, Lutra has smartly kept its USP specific yet multifaceted. The proof will be in the pudding, however as a young company, it’ll be interesting to see the impact it makes on the eyecare world as it continues to scale.
