2.  Peek – the Portable Eye Examination Kit -
makes eye tests affordable and easy
anywhere in the world.
 It provides all the tools for professional eye
exams from a smart phone.

3.  It’s a clip-on
camera adapter that
gives high quality
images of the back
of the eye and the
retina.

4.  It sits neatly over the
top of the device
allowing a healthcare
worker to easily take
high-quality images of
the back of the eye. It
feels much less intrusive
for the patient too.

6.  Peek Retina
combines both a
traditional
ophthalmoscope and
a retinal camera
used to diagnose
cataracts, glaucoma
and many other eye
diseases

8.  A shrinking letter
which appears on
screen can be used as
a basic vision test

9.  A team of eye care specialists, software
developers, product designers and hardware
engineers.
 Peek is a collaboration between leading
research institutes

10.  Stewart Jordan(software lead)
 Kate Tarling (User researcher and product designer)
 Dr. Andrew Bastawrous (ophthalmologist)
 Sarah O'Regan (social media manager)

11.  Dr. Iain Livingstone (paediatric acuity lead)
 Dr. Mario E Giardini (hardware lead)

12.  Around 39 million people in the world are
blind.
 80% of this blindness is avoidable.
 Perhaps in many regions people still don't
have access to eye care.

15.  Existing eye exam equipment is heavy,
expensive, fragile and difficult to use.
 It’s not built to travel, it can feel intrusive.
 It needs a reliable supply of electricity to
work.

16.  Peek gives all the tools for professional eye
exams from a smart phone.
 It makes eye exams easy and affordable,
anywhere in the world.

17.  The Guardian: Designs of the year shortlist
announced Peek won Digital Design of the
Year, London Design Museum.
 Tech4Good Awards: ”An eyecare app that is
transforming millions of lives”.
 Bill Gates onTwitter: "Good news!!, curing
blindness is now going mobile...”

18.  Studies have shown that a healthcare worker
using Peek can assess over 1,000 people per
week.
 Therefore 768000 every year will be treated
by one healthcare worker.
 Even if only 51 people across the globe
participate; 39 million would be able to see
this beautiful world.

19.  People will use and accept it like Personal
Computers.
 Use the Camera to test the eyes and send it
to your doctor
