Pursuant Health debuts retinal screening kiosk
Pursuant Health is launching a self-service retinal screening kiosk in an effort to prevent avoidable vision loss with early detection.
“Documented compliance with annual retinal exams is often less than 50%,” Ryan Sloan, chief revenue officer at Pursuant Health, said in a press release from the company. “Our ability to use a health kiosk to capture retinal images, coordinate with eye specialists for processing and report results back to primary care physicians in the most convenient way possible changes the game for all concerned, especially health plans.”
The kiosks allow for individuals to complete a nonmydriatic exam. The retinal images are then evaluated by an ophthalmologist, and results are shared with the primary care physician.
The kiosks will be initially placed in retail pharmacy and health care providers, but Pursuant Health is looking for future placement locations.
