Tu Visión a Tiempo – AI Retinal Screening to Prevent Avoidable Vision
Summary of the application :
In Chile, about 2.5 million people (nearly 15% of the population) are on health waiting lists; the leading cause is retinal fundus examination and ophthalmology consultation, with waits of up to 8 years.
Tu Visión a Tiempo uses portable retinal cameras and AI to bring this exam to vulnerable people, especially low-income older adults without private healthcare, reducing avoidable vision loss and cutting the country’s largest waiting list.
