BALANCED Media | Technology is collaborating with Retina Foundation and Southern Methodist University (SMU) in the Eye on Innovation – The Series, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence, gaming, and ocular diseases. During the event, BALANCED’s CEO, Robert M. Atkins, and CTO, Corey Clark, join together with Dr. Karl Csaky, Chief Executive and Medical Officer of Retina Foundation. 

The collaboration recognizes the gaming industry’s vast reach, with an estimated three billion gamers worldwide. By engaging this community, doctors and scientists can collect standardized data for accurate identification of ocular diseases, providing faster solutions to patients.

BALANCED, Retina Foundation, and SMU aim to leverage gaming technologies to treat ocular diseases more efficiently, minimizing costs for medical staff and patients. This approach has the potential to revolutionize ocular healthcare and inspire innovation in other medical domains. BALANCED has already showcased the potential with Eye in the Sky: Defender, a gaming system using retinal scans for diagnosing and tracking age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Through this collaboration, BALANCED is at the forefront of merging gaming and healthcare, driving advancements in ocular research. The Eye on Innovation – The Series serves as a platform to showcase the possibilities that arise from combining gaming industry expertise with medical innovation. Together with Retina Foundation and SMU, BALANCED is dedicated to finding innovative solutions that transform how ocular diseases are approached, improving patient outcomes and shaping the future of healthcare.
