DIVE arose from the difficulties ophthalmologists and pediatricians experience daily when examining the visual function of preverbal and nonverbal patients. Pediatric ophthalmologists and optometrists from the Miguel Servet Hospital, through the IIS Aragón, and engineers from the University of Zaragoza are working together to develop a device that enables rapid and accurate screening of visual function in young children. After five years of research, it was founded DIVE-Medical SL. to bring the benefits of this device to all ophthalmologists, pediatricians and optometrists.
Every day 11.000 children are born in the world with vision problems. However, their diagnosis is made, hopefully, from the age of three, which means that the consequences of their pathologies can worsen over time. To alleviate the defenselessness of the weakest, a startup Zaragoza, Dive Medical, has designed a prototype that takes advantage of the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for early diagnosis.
