In Kenya, more people have access to a mobile phone than to clean running water, therefore Peek Retina taps into an existing channel to reach a significantly larger group than current health care distribution methods. Simply fix the adapter over the smart phone camera, point, and shoot. Used in combination with the Peek app, the image taken shows a high quality image of the retina, which can then be examined for irregularities including cataracts, signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and signs of nerve disease. Using cross-culturally recognisable symbols, the Peek app also includes a number of other simple eye care tests to further analyse a patients’ vision. Once exams are complete, the patients’ information is securely stored and if necessary, shared with off-site professionals for further diagnosis. The patient can then be referred to receive timely treatment.
