Youtube for inspirational videos of patients whose vision has been saved by
our technology AND Training videos for doctors and technicians
Facebook and Google+ to connect to customers and doctors
Linkedin and Sermo to connect with doctors and medical device

A professional blog on Retinopathy - publish news and information

Twitter to keep our followers up to date on all of our news, offerings, and
technology updates

● There are researches being done in this arena, but there aren't any companies offering this specific solution in the market
yet, so the start-up has a good chance of becoming a leader in the field.
● Inspiration --
● Special thanks to Andrea Kilin to this great Diabetic Eye
Disease inspiration.
● Article that has been shared with us … on the right …
