CEO Review

 

I am pleased to announce that Optomed Aurora, equipped with AEYE-DS AI technology, has received FDA clearance, a pivotal achievement in our company's history. This approval marks the introduction of the first handheld AI fundus camera for immediate detection of diabetic retinopathy in the U.S., establishing a new benchmark in diabetic eye care. Our solution has shown unparalleled performance, achieving 92-93% sensitivity and 89-94% specificity in two comprehensive studies, with a remarkable 99% imageability rate. Notably, our technology simplifies the diagnostic process by using just a single image from each eye. This achievement comes from our diligent collaboration with our esteemed partner AEYE Health.

 

Turning to our financial performance for the first quarter, while we fell slightly short of our expectations, particularly in the software segment, our full-year outlook remains positive. Notably, we received promising customer orders from China during the quarter, suggesting potential growth in that region. We've also reevaluated our strategy in China and are presently engaged in discussions with a prominent eye hospital and private equity fund to establish a joint venture for eye screening services, aiming for implementation in either Q2 or Q3. The business model for this venture will be a recurring revenue model, ensuring sustainability and long-term success.

 

Additionally, we successfully halted the decline in our OEM business and resumed our growth trajectory. Despite facing challenges, our team's dedication and strategic execution have yielded excellent outcome as two of our main strategic goals were achieved. Additionally, we are delighted to share that we have emerged victorious in a public tender within the software segment which we have discussed in our previous reports, a result to the quality and competitiveness of our offerings.

 

As we look ahead, we are energized by this momentum and remain committed to delivering value to our shareholders. We sincerely thank you for your continued support and confidence in Optomed.
