Award: 270k€ grant from Paris Region for the EyeArt project

February 21, 2014. Imagine Eyes received the “AixPe” award from Paris Region for the EYEART project in collaboration with Pr Xavier Girerd’s team at the Institute of Cardiometabolism And Nutrition (ICAN). This award is associated with a 270k€ funding granted to Imagine Eyes by France’s Banque Publique d’Investissement (public investment bank).

The AixPe awards from Paris Region are intended to support the experimentations of innovating products and services in real-life user environment in order to facilitate their access to market.

Imagine Eyes’ EYEART project will experiment the use of Imagine Eyes’ rtx1 retinal camera in a hospital department dedicated to the management of hypertension and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiologists at ICAN will exploit the rtx1’s unprecedented high resolution to analyze the microscopic structure of small arteries in the eye, in order to detect earlier signs of vascular pathology and to define improved methods for adapting treatments to patients.
