A pediatrician uses Gobiquity’s app on her iPhone to photograph a child’s eyes, highlighted by the phone’s flashlight, from a distance of about 3½ feet. GoCheck software analyzes how light refracts off the patient’s eyes to identify risks for nearsightedness, farsightedness, or eye cancer or other diseases.
If the software identifies a risk factor, a Gobiquity screening team confirms it and sends an alert to the child’s electronic health record, which notifies the pediatrician for a referral.
