Optain Health
About Optain Health
Optain Health is a healthcare technology company that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), robotic retinal imaging, and teleophthalmology to facilitate earlier detection of both ocular and systemic diseases. The company’s core offering is its Oculomics platform, which utilizes a portable robotic camera to capture high-resolution retinal images rapidly and without the need for pupil dilation. Integrated AI workflows then analyze these images to identify various sight-threatening eye conditions and assess cardiovascular disease risk.
For physicians, Optain’s platform provides a non-invasive clinical support tool designed to democratize access to specialized disease screening, improve diagnostic speed, and minimize missed diagnoses. The system delivers real-time AI diagnostics, often in under 60 seconds with high accuracy, enabling point-of-care diagnosis and seamless integration into existing clinic workflows. This approach aims to enhance screening adherence, particularly in underserved communities, and supports recurring revenue for providers through reimbursable CPT codes for annual screenings and preventive services.
Optain’s technology is built upon over a decade of research, primarily led by Professor Mingguang He in Australia, and is designed to expand access to oculomics into primary care, optometry, and other non-specialist settings, with minimal disruption to clinical staffing or workflows. The company’s mission is to provide faster, easier, and more equitable disease screening globally.
