VR and AI Eye Examinations for Glaucoma: Prof. Raphael Sznitman, Perivision


Listen Later

If you miss your glaucoma appointment in the UK, you could partially go blind while waiting for the next one. How about taking the test by yourself at home with a VR headset?

You’ll hear about

  • why banging into objects can be both glaucoma early symptoms, and late ones
  • why many people don’t even realize they have glaucoma
  • how glaucoma is diagnosed now, why it is so frustrating
  • how coffee can impact your visual field examinations
  • a VR headset paired with Machine Learning 
  • connected to your ophthalmologist

Prof. Raphael Sznitman is a co-founder of Perivision. A computer scientist and biomedical engineer who works closely with clinicians on AI solutions in ophthalmology.

Perivision is a Swiss startup, a spin-off from the University of Bern. Their eye test headset uses Virtual Reality, cloud computing, and AI to test for glaucoma and the visual field. It reduces the test time by up to 70%.
