3nethra
Forus Health
Solution Overview & Benefits
3nethra is a portable, non-invasive, non-mydriatic, pre-screening ophthalmology device. The device can detect diabetic retinopathy, cataract, glaucoma, cornea problems, and refractive errors. 3nethra then provides an automated “Normal" or "Need to See a Doctor" report, which is useful especially during the early onset of eye disease when patients do not experience symptoms.
Additionally, 3nethra connects primary care centers to secondary or tertiary care centers through telemedicine for remote diagnosis.
3nethra is a low-cost device that reduces the direct and indirect costs of screening, making it accessible to rural populations.
History & Development
Forus Health is a medical technology company with an audacious goal — to eradicate preventable blindness — a global healthcare challenge today.
Preventable blindness affects millions of people around the world. This issue is further compounded by the poor ratio of ophthalmologists to patients in many countries.
We believe that innovation in technology and creative business models can help develop sustainable access to vision care. Creating social impact is in our DNA and every product we design is a direct consequence of solving a problem. This is the very philosophy with which our founding team — curious minds passionate about creative problem-solving — set out to create a health technology ecosystem in 2010 in Bangalore, India.
