iCare RETCAD
A CE-certified AI that analyzes color fundus images and detects three major eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy in about a minute
What is it
iCare RETCAD is a CE-certified AI software from Finland specialized in analyzing color fundus images. In about a minute it can interpret an image and help detect three common retinal and fundus conditions: diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Its core value is using AI to greatly shorten the time to interpret fundus images.
What problem it solves
Interpreting fundus images requires professional training and easily creates a bottleneck at volume, and high-risk groups like diabetics need regular screening. With about one minute of AI analysis, RETCAD helps clinics quickly screen out cases needing further handling, easing the interpretation burden. It suits medical institutions with large fundus-screening needs, diabetes-care units, and optometry practices wanting to improve screening efficiency. Being CE-certified also gives it a firmer basis for compliant use. Note that AI analysis is assistive screening — any positive or abnormal result should still be confirmed by an ophthalmologist who decides follow-up; you cannot diagnose from the software result alone. For settings handling large volumes of fundus images, it fills in speed and preliminary-interpretation capability, letting professional staff focus on the cases that truly need attention.

FAQ
How long does RETCAD take to interpret one image?
Per the official description, it takes about a minute to complete analysis and give a result.
Which eye diseases can it detect?
It mainly helps detect three: diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
Does an AI 'abnormal' mean a diagnosis?
No — it's assistive screening; a positive or abnormal result needs further confirmation and handling by an ophthalmologist.
