KORI EYES TECH: Bringing Vision to Every Corner
10 FINALIST - II Entrepreneurship Call 2025: Women in Technology
In the picturesque islands and rural regions of Greece, millions of children are at risk of undetected vision problems. Traditional eye exams are often inaccessible, costly, and outdated. Enter KORI EYES TECH, the groundbreaking initiative founded by Dimitra Pantelaki, which is redefining eye care through the seamless integration of technology, innovation, and compassion.
KORI EYES TECH’s mission is clear: to expand access to high-precision eye exams for children and underserved populations. By combining artificial intelligence, portable devices, and telemedicine, the team has created solutions that bring the clinic to the patient, wherever they are.
Innovative Solutions That Change Lives
At the heart of KORI EYES TECH are two transformative technologies:
TeleKORI: This system turns a standard smartphone camera into an AI-powered eye tracker, enabling guided visual tests and generating detailed clinical reports. It allows remote monitoring by specialists, ensuring children receive expert care without traveling long distances.
Dr KORI: A VR headset specifically designed for children, gamifying eye exams to improve cooperation and diagnostic accuracy. Lightweight, fun, and precise, it makes the process engaging while maintaining clinical rigor.
These tools are more than devices, they are gateways to early detection, timely intervention, and improved quality of life for thousands of children.
Impact Beyond Technology
KORI EYES TECH is already making a measurable difference: it reduces the need for in-person clinic visits, improves diagnostic precision, and allows specialists to monitor patients remotely. By focusing on underserved areas, the project addresses health inequities and ensures children who might otherwise go unseen receive the care they need.
Moreover, the initiative fosters economic efficiency. By preventing complications and unnecessary clinical visits, families and healthcare systems save time and resources, while clinics can integrate advanced technology without high upfront costs.
A Visionary Approach to Health and Innovation
What sets KORI EYES TECH apart is its holistic impact. Socially, it empowers communities by expanding access to care. Medically, it elevates diagnostic standards through AI and telemedicine. Economically, it provides a scalable model for clinics and hospitals worldwide. Environmentally, it reduces the carbon footprint associated with travel for healthcare.
