RetinAI Medical AG (“RetinAI”), a leader in clinical and imaging data management software and advanced analytics using artificial intelligence (AI) for ophthalmology, is excited to announce a new partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim. The companies aim to improve patient outcomes in geographic atrophy (GA) by combining RetinAI’s Discovery® platform and AI tools with Boehringer Ingelheim’s research in retinal diseases.
GA is a progressive, advanced form of age-related macular degeneration and a leading cause of complete loss of sight, estimated to affect around 5 million people worldwide1. The number of people affected by GA increases exponentially with age. As the population ages, the prevalence of the disease is expected to rise.1,2 The loss of vision is traumatic and permanently impacts many aspects of life.
RetinAI’s AI tools for identifying novel biomarkers will be tested for the analysis of Boehringer Ingelheim’s imaging datasets from clinical studies and real-world evidence to identify additional, novel biomarkers and predictors of disease progression. This integration of advanced digital technologies and AI could help accelerate the development of urgently needed novel treatments and enable earlier and more precise diagnosis contributing to Boehringer Ingelheim’s vision of preventing vision loss and blindness caused by retinal diseases.
