Horizon Eye Care Integrates Altris AI with Maestro2 OCT System to Advance Patient Eye Health
Published:
At Horizon Eye Care & Optical, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of ophthalmic services through the adoption of cutting-edge technologies. We are pleased to announce our recent integration of Altris AI with our existing Maestro2 optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. This strategic enhancement underscores our commitment to delivering precise, efficient, and patient-centred eye care.
Understanding the Maestro2 OCT System
The Maestro2, developed by Topcon Healthcare, is a state-of-the-art, fully automated OCT and fundus camera system. It enables high-resolution imaging of the retina and optic nerve with minimal patient discomfort, requiring only a single touch to align, focus, and capture detailed scans. This technology facilitates comprehensive assessments, including widefield OCT scans that cover both the macula and optic disc, supporting early detection of various ocular conditions.
The Role of Altris AI in Eye Care
Altris AI is a cutting-edge, cloud-based artificial intelligence platform specialized in OCT scan interpretation. It detects over 70 retinal pathologies and biomarkers, supporting eye care professionals in identifying subtle changes associated with conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and glaucoma.
By integrating seamlessly with multiple OCT devices, including the Maestro2, it enhances diagnostic accuracy and reduces the potential for over-referrals.
This AI-assisted analysis enhances diagnostic confidence, reduces interpretation time, enabling earlier interventions and more personalized treatment plans.
Benefits for Our Patients
The integration of Altris AI with our Maestro2 OCT system brings several key advantages to our patients:
- Improved Diagnostic Precision: AI-assisted analysis provides detailed insights into OCT scans, aiding in the early identification of conditions like glaucoma and other retinal diseases.
- Streamlined Examinations: Automated processes reduce examination time while maintaining high-quality results, enhancing overall efficiency.
- Enhanced Patient Outcomes: By leveraging historical data and AI-supported monitoring, we can track disease progression more effectively, leading to tailored care strategies.
- Accessibility and Security: The system ensures secure data handling and compatibility with our existing infrastructure, prioritizing patient privacy and convenience.
This advancement aligns with broader trends in optometry, where AI is increasingly utilized for disease screening, biomarker detection, and patient triage, as evidenced by recent studies and implementations in the field.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Excellence
Horizon Eye Care remains at the forefront of ophthalmic innovation, continually investing in technologies that elevate the standard of care. This integration exemplifies our commitment to improving our patients’ experience, ensuring that they receive the most comprehensive and forward-thinking eye health services available.
