Users can screen for eye health conditions using just a smartphone, follow the patient journey from screening to treatment and view real-time data dashboards to identify where patients are being left behind. People who would have been invisible to health workers are made visible, so that nobody is left behind.
Peek works in partnership with eye health providers, governments and NGOs. Together, we aim to make large-scale, sustainable improvements to health systems, bringing better vision and eye health to everyone.
Our tools include:
-
Software for community and school eye health programmes that powers screening, data capture and analysis, plus the RAAB7 eye health survey platform
