Analysis and grading of relevant cases by the Triage Team.
DR Screening Campaign
Fundus camera and a laptop with Retmarker.
Triage Team Report
The report becomes available to the Field Team. It can be used to further discuss the follow-up with the patient.
Retmarker Screening Platform
Automatic analysis and diagnosis through Retmarker Algorithm.
Retmarker’s field station provides the technician all the tools needed to photograph each diabetic, measure their visual acuity and record further relevant data.
Each Retmarker field station includes:
• State-of-art automated fundus camera from leading provider
• Visual Acuity measurement software
• Laptop with configured secure internet connection to send data
Our offer includes the training of field work technicians.
Images are securely sent over the Internet (preferably) to the Data center hosting the Retmarker technology.
The Data center can be Local or Cloud-based.
Retmarker automated analysis algorithms will process the patient images and automatically remove patients without signs of Diabetic Retinopathy lesions.
When previous information is available, Retmarker automatically uses such data to automatically assess disease activity based on a proprietary biomarker.
Quality control measures are part of the solution and analysed periodically.
Retmarker is a Safe solution (sensitivity >=90%) that can remove the need for Human Grading in at least 50% of the patients in normal conditions (with qualified cameras, this value can increase up to approximately 75%).
Images sent
Images are sent securely to the chosen data center.
All images with suspicious lesions (or quality controls) are sent to be manually analysed and graded.
The Triage team worker will use Retmarker’s grading software to record his analysis and generate the final report.
Another grading (second opinion) can be requested by the triage worker.
Our offer considers training of Triage technicians and the definition of the organizational model, triage protocol and triage worker quality evaluation protocol.
Easy to understand report focused on the diabetic patient.
The report contains the grading outcomes and the next steps as defined by the Reading Center (Retmarker & the Triage team).
The report presents an explanation on the exam and complementary information on Diabetic Retinopathy.
Automated grading of diabetic retinopathy may safely reduce the burden of grading patients in diabetic retinopathy screening programs. The novel two-step automated analysis system (Retmarker) offers improved sensitivity and specificity over published automated analysis systems.

Tracing Diabetic Retinopathy
Retmarker Technology and Operating Model allows the implementation of highly reliable and efficient Diabetic Retinopathy Screening programs, at an extremely low cost.
According to the International Diabetes Federation, 366 million people have diabetes (2011) and by 2030 this will have risen to 552 million. Overtime all of them will develop complications.
Up to 80% of diabetics who have had the disease for 10 years or more are affected by Diabetic Retinopathy.
The best medical practices indicates that all patients with diabetes should make a screening of Diabetic Retinopathy at least once a year.
About Critical HealthRetmarker is a mathematical algorithm that automatically analyses color fundus photographs and identifies diabetics in risk of progression of Diabetic Retinopathy.
Retmarker is patented and a class IIa medical device. Retmarker is a unique solution that is being developed and fine-tuned for more than 5 years.
Retmarker is developed in a startup from the Critical Software (www.criticalsoftware.com) Group, a Coimbra’s University spin-off, based in Coimbra (Portugal) with operations in 8 different countries.
Retmarker is developed with AIBILI (Portugal, www.aibili.pt), the prestigious Ophthalmology Research Institute created and led by Professor José Cunha-Vaz.
