Company mission
Reti Health's mission is to prevent heart attacks and strokes by giving users access to regular, state-of-the-art screening.
Our take
Reti Health was founded in order to help prevent avoidable strokes and heart attacks using early screening. The company uses retinal screenings to diagnose cardiovascular disease, which kills 17.9 million people each year. Reti Health's founder has extensive experience in cognitive neuroscience and machine learning.
Early screening and subsequent treatment and lifestyle changes can prevent strokes and heart attacks. However, in the UK, only 40% of the population undergo regular screenings. By contrast, 80-90% of the population visit the optician every two years. Reti Health's unique solution is to use the retinal scans taken as part of routine eye tests to identify the signs of cardiovascular disease.
Reti Health sets itself apart by taking advantage of the high-touch point of care service offered by opticians. Their AI model is able to identify at-risk individuals without the need to replace existing hardware. Reti Health's product is therefore cost-efficient and effective. They are a venture-backed company who are already on their way to building the world's largest dataset of retinal images linked to adverse cardiovascular events.
