Across Europe and the U.S., 170 million children require eye screenings each year, yet many receive delayed or incorrect diagnoses. Strabismus alone affects 6.85 million children, and if left untreated, can lead to lifelong vision impairment. Amblyopia remains the leading cause of childhood vision loss. In special schools across the UK, nearly 90% of children receive their first-ever eye exam too late. Despite ophthalmology being the largest outpatient specialty in systems like the NHS, access to timely, accurate diagnostics is limited—especially in rural, underserved, and remote communities. In Greece, Cyprus, and Germany, ophthalmologists still rely on manual, ruler-based measurements for pupil diameter, eyelid ptosis, and strabismus. General ophthalmologists lack objective tools, forcing families to travel long distances to urban centers. While the NHS has expanded virtual cardiac care with Holter monitors, no equivalent exists for real-time, multi-specialty eye tracking. KORI fills this gap with precise, accessible, AI-powered tools for eye tracking and early screening in underserved and remote settings.

KORI develops AI-powered eye tracking for telemonitoring, emergency care, and early screening, especially in children. The solution works through two tools: TeleKORI is a mobile app that turns a standard smartphone camera into an eye tracker, enabling remote patient monitoring and at-home screenings. Dr. KORI is a VR headset with built-in eye trackers, specifically designed for children. Its animated virtual environment captures attention and improves cooperation, making pediatric exams faster and more reliable. KORI tracks eye movement and pupil size to identify signs of strabismus, anisocoria, eyelid ptosis, and nystagmus. It supports both emergency assessments (e.g., vertigo, red-eye) and early diagnosis through screening. The software uses AI models to generate visual data—such as heatmaps and movement graphs—that guide clinical decisions. Here is the link with some photos of the prototype and the demo app, as well as the medical report that we produce after the exam: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/15VkDfELv9ECBAz1xlEu0RkoPy4nVYeZ1

Our solution, KORI, is designed for general and pediatric ophthalmologists, primary care physicians, and military healthcare providers who use our tools—Dr. KORI and TeleKORI—to conduct accurate, efficient eye and neurological assessments. The Dr. KORI headset supports pediatric exams in clinical and school settings, while TeleKORI enables remote diagnostics using just a smartphone camera, without the need for specialized hardware. Together, these tools serve children and adults in underserved and remote areas, including the 1,638,287 people living on Greek islands with limited access to specialist care. They also target the 170 million children in Europe and the U.S. who require annual screenings, including the 6.85 million affected by strabismus. In Greece, 89.6% of children in special education schools were receiving their first-ever eye exam as recently as 2021–2022, highlighting major screening gaps. KORI’s tools have already been tested with over 500 users across school screenings, university pilots, and military medical settings. Altogether, KORI aims to improve the lives of millions by expanding access to early diagnostics, reducing misdiagnoses, and enabling timely, targeted interventions in populations too often left behind.
