Children’s vision is a large-scale public health problem: According to the CDC each year 120,000 children develop vision disorders that are not correctable with glasses and 4,000 become legally blind.

Recent large-scale studies indicate that with proper screening and treatment the incidence of these outcomes can be reduced by 50%

Unreadable Images: The Hidden Hurdle in Pediatric Eye Health Care

The inspiration for Starship Medical's innovative Apex camera came from the challenges posed by the poor image quality of existing legacy pediatric retinal imaging cameras.

We are determined to provide a solution that will improve the lives of children by enabling timely and effective treatment of vision disorders.

Introducing HERO + APEX: A Breakthrough in Eye Imaging

Revolutionary imaging with a built-in OCT for disease management and screening of high-risk patients with accompanying AI. 

• Hero's ultra-wide field of view captures 100% more of the retina than traditional devices, enabling earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
• Its small, lightweight, and portable design, coupled with disposable sanitary condoms, makes it ideal for use in any setting, including telemedicine.

HERO + AI Analysis

An AI-driven digital imager to replace the ineffective “red-free” eye exam now offered to all neonates.  

• AI-powered image analysis streamlines the diagnostic process, improving efficiency and accuracy
• Dominant Technical feature is ease of use
• Implements comprehensive atBirth Eye Screening
• Apex Is useful in the Emergency Rooms
• In-office "Well Baby" Eye Exams by Pediatricians

Charting a Course for Success

Starship Medical's plan is to:

• Bring our Hero & Apex camera to market, offering a significant improvement over existing pediatric retinal imaging technology.
• Integrate Apex with OCT technology to further enhance diagnostic capabilities.  
• Expand our product line to address other unmet needs in pediatric eye care.
• Product would go to production one year after Apex with AI development to follow.
