US based IRIS – Intelligent Retinal Imaging Systems, one of the leaders in retinal screening technology, has partnered with US headquartered HealPros, a technology-enabled healthcare service that works with some of the largest health plans in the nation to change the lives of people with chronic illness. This partnership will yield significant results for health plans and their members with diabetes by helping them prevent or quickly diagnose diabetic retinopathy.
As per the source, each year, millions of Americans do not access the care they need due to transportation issues, lack of education, cultural differences, and proximity to/affordability of care. HealPros will utilize IRIS program and workflow expertise to enhance their in-home diabetic retinopathy screening. This partnership ensures HealPros’ clients will reap the benefits of The IRIS Reading Center’s highest gradeability in the industry which is critical in the in-home market.
“We are excited to embark on this relationship with IRIS and begin using the IRIS Platform to take our in-home DRE capabilities to the next level,” said Michael Harris, Chief Operating Officer of HealPros. “The partnership with IRIS allows us to assess better images of members’ retinas so we can continue to care for and intervene on behalf of chronic disease populations nationwide.”
“IRIS empowers organizations of all sizes to drive diabetic retinal screenings and help those with high-risk conditions save their eyesight,” said Steve Martin, Chief Executive Officer of IRIS. “HealPros works with the nation’s most prominent health plans across the country to ensure people access the care they need, and we see tremendous potential to improve thousands of lives via this collaboration.”
