The EYELIKE device scans retinal images and uses an accurate AI-based algorithm on the phones to detect diseases in the retinal images and classify them as normal or abnormal.

‘An older Galaxy smartphone becomes the brain of the 'EYELIKE' device, capturing images of a person's retina through a lens attachment for enhanced diagnosis of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration that could lead to blindness if not diagnosed on time.’
To screen patients, Samsung has partnered with four eye hospitals - Sitapur Eye Hospital in Uttar Pradesh; Aravind Eye Hospital in Pondicherry; Guruhasti Chikitsalya in Jodhpur, Rajasthan; and Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital in New Delhi. So far, Samsung has upcycled nearly 200 units of old Galaxy smartphones and distributed the cameras to partners in India.
Using Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology
"The device comes in handy as it is very easy to use and can be operated by a semi-trained technician as well because of the on-device AI that tell them if the image is normal or abnormal. And since it is portable, it can be carried to remote locations easily where availability of ophthalmic health care is limited," said Dr Sahil Bhandari, Senior Ophthalmologist at Guruhasti Chikitsalya."Programmes such as ’Galaxy Upcycling’ have helped us in transforming lives through the power of innovation. With the ’EYELIKE Fundus’ Camera, our partners have been able to provide quality eye screening to patients across India," said Mohan Rao Goli, CTO, Samsung R&D Institute, Bangalore.
