The idea for G-Screen started in a GP waiting room. Sitting there, watching people move through their appointments, I found myself wondering how many of them might be living with undiagnosed glaucoma and don't even know it.
The longstanding problem deserved a modern day solution. G-Screen was developed with a hope to reach the patients where the clinicians could not.
I believe the future of healthcare starts with prevention, with technology as an enabler for earlier access and better public education.
