OVERLAND PARK, KS and PADOVA, ITALY--(Marketwired - Jun 23, 2015) - TreVia Digital Health (TreVia), innovators in cutting-edge technology solutions for the diabetes care industry, and D-EYE Srl, a pioneering developer of advanced devices for mass health screenings and data collection, announced today a strategic partnership in which D-EYE will use TreVia's industry-best cloud-based data management platform and technology to power the D-EYE ImageVault™.
The secure TreVia platform, originally created to treat and manage diabetes using telemedicine and other care management software technology, will host and manage the D-EYE ImageVault for storing, analyzing and sharing images captured by the D-EYE portable retinal imaging system. This collaboration will leverage TreVia's HIPAA-compliant cloud service to enable account set-up, workflow management, sharing and archiving D-EYE videos, still images and corresponding data for instant access by ophthalmologists, optometrists, general practitioners and other medical specialists, facilitating wide-spread eye screening from anywhere.
The first truly portable ophthalmoscope capable of recording and transmitting images of the eye, the D-EYE attaches to a smartphone (currently Apple or Samsung), creating a retinal camera which can capture high-definition video and still images of the interior of the eye for health screening and evaluation. The lightweight and easy-to-use D-EYE device is ideal for screening and possible detection of a variety of eye disorders including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and many other eye conditions and abnormalities.
"With their innovative cloud platform and data analytics capabilities, TreVia Digital Health is creating new possibilities for telemedicine, remote health care delivery and collaboration across the health care delivery and medical community," said D-EYE CEO Richard Sill. "Our global vision care customers require a secure cloud platform that meets medical standards for image storage and handling, as well as patient privacy, and the TreVia solution delivers. We are thrilled to partner with them to further expand the screening and diagnostic support benefits of the D-EYE portable retinal imaging system."
D-EYE-generated images and videos will be stored in the TreVia-powered D-EYE ImageVault and accessible to providers where and when needed for analysis, comparison and diagnosis, allowing the entire care team to effectively engage in the patient's health treatment plan. The telemedicine services that the partnership enables will prove particularly beneficial in rural locales, developing countries and other underserved areas, bringing critical eye screening services and access to retinal specialists to people in need in the most remote locations across the globe.
"TreVia is excited about the partnership with D-EYE as it provides a disruptive technological leap in telemedicine to provide retinal screening to healthcare consumers globally, including those in rural and impoverished regions where diabetes is prevalent," added Maureen Peszko, President and COO at TreVia Digital Health. "It is our mission ultimately to provide better patient outcomes by advancing a new level of digital collaboration that enables us to detect issues early, preserve vision, reduce complex procedures and lower healthcare costs."
The D-EYE ImageVault cloud service platform will be available to D-EYE users later this year.
