Heart Disease and Stroke Risk From a Retinal Scan | Optain Health
The eye is the window to the body. No air puff, no dilation, and it works in the field. Book Ian for your event → iankhan.com | booking@iankhan.com SUMMARY Zach and Jeff co-founded Optain Health, using retinal scans to detect leading causes of blindness alongside whole-body disease risk including heart disease and stroke. They cover the optometry-led referral patterns in Europe, and delivering the same quality of care to someone in a remote location as in a major city. KEY FINDINGS • Detecting leading causes of blindness in America • Also assessing heart disease and stroke risk from the same scan • The eye as the window to the rest of the body • No air puff and no pupil dilation required • A strong European footprint through optometry • Optometrists driving downstream referral into ophthalmology • Deployable in the field rather than requiring a clinic visit • Equal quality of care regardless of where someone lives GUEST Zach & Jeff, Co-Founders, Optain Health FULL TRANSCRIPT iankhan.com/futurist/optain-health-retinal-scan-disease-risk Recorded at HLTH 2025 for The Futurist. ──────────────────── ABOUT IAN KHAN — HEALTHCARE AI KEYNOTE SPEAKER Most AI keynotes end with a better understanding.
