glasspop has developed the first product that allows patients to test their own vision. Prescribing glasses requires skill, but manufacturing them on a large scale costs only one dollar, which calls for a disruption!
Using the heedgi methodology in AI, Laurent Pantanacce and I helped glasspop take on an ambitious challenge with potential impact on everyone: rethink eyeglass prescription to make it faster while maintaining impeccable clinical accuracy.
They say you can't manage what you can't measure. So, we built our AI to measure clinical comfort when giving the wrong prescription to a patient. Indeed, we put in some innovation based on the scientific literature of ophthalmology and optometry to come up with a solid, clear, and understandable KPI for the project. This approach empowered thrice training, validation and selection of our AI towards patient well-being. This work was not theoretical or isolated in an ivory tower. On the contrary, we believe in constant collaboration with experts in the field while making sure our solution is not only innovative, but also rooted in clinical reality.
The prescription required an average of 80 optical tests per patient, thanks to the medical expertise of glasspop's ophthalmologists. Our team, leveraging solid mathematical skills and inspired by Markov chains, achieved a feat by drastically reducing this number to 41 tests, thanks to the precious anonymized asset of glasspop data.
But we didn't stop there! By integrating proprietary artificial intelligence into our process, we pushed the limits even further, achieving an optimized number around 20 tests. Our support for glasspop went beyond pure innovation, contributing to every facet of the project, from marketing and scientific communication to strategic commercial negotiations. This mission illustrates the immense potential when science and medical practice are combined to benefit patients. We are confident that this rewarding adventure will redefine prescription eyewear for years to come.
