Remidio Innovative Solutions has been recognised among the top 3 in AI by HER Challenge at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The India AI Impact Summit, the world’s largest AI summit, brought together innovators, policymakers, and industry leaders to spotlight AI solutions driving real-world societal impact. The AI by HER Challenge was specifically designed to recognise women-led teams developing impactful AI solutions across sectors including health diagnostics, precision nutrition, talent intelligence, and MSME enablement.
The AI by HER Award was part of a global impact challenge and was one of the three flagship events of the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The challenge witnessed an overwhelming response, receiving over 4,500 applications from more than 50 countries, making it one of the most competitive and internationally diverse AI platforms focused on real-world societal impact.
Three Diseases, One Tap, Under 10 Seconds
At the heart of Remidio’s recognition is the Medios HI (Humanizing Intelligence) AI platform, which runs entirely on-device, offline, and delivers screening results for three of the most common causes of preventable blindness: diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A single tap on Remidio’s Fundus on Phone (FOP NM 10) camera delivers results for all three conditions in a few seconds, without requiring internet connectivity or specialist training.
The clinical performance of Remidio’s AI has been validated through multiple independent, prospective studies published in peer-reviewed journals including JAMA Ophthalmology, Nature Eye, and the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology:
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR): MediosHI’s offline AI demonstrates high accuracy in detecting referable diabetic retinopathy (RDR) using smartphone-based fundus images, achieving a sensitivity of 93.0% and specificity of 92.5%. This performance was validated in a prospective clinical study and published in BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care (2020), confirming its reliability across diverse patient populations.
Glaucoma: In a prospective, real-world study, MediosHI showed strong diagnostic capability for referable glaucoma, with a sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 93%, as compared to expert ophthalmologist grading. These results were published in Ophthalmology Glaucoma (2025), highlighting the AI’s effectiveness for early detection in routine screening.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): MediosHI AMD AI has been clinically validated across tertiary hospitals, eye institutes, and vision centres, demonstrating strong concordance with specialist diagnosis. In a prospective, real-world validation study, the algorithm delivered high sensitivity (~90.6%) and specificity (~85.4%) for detecting referable AMD compared with combined standard of care grading.
All three AI algorithms were the first to receive CDSCO approval. Additionally, Remidio’s Medios HI Glaucoma AI and Medios HI DR AI have received CE Marking as Class II Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), and the company’s devices are FDA 510(k) registered in the United States. This regulatory trifecta positions Remidio as one of the most comprehensively approved ophthalmic AI platforms globally.
Why This Matters
India has an estimated 300 million people affected by or at risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A significant share of preventable blindness goes undetected because screening infrastructure is either too expensive, too complex, or too dependent on internet connectivity to reach the communities that need it most.
Remidio’s offline, edge-AI approach removes the specialist bottleneck entirely. By embedding diagnostic intelligence directly into a portable, smartphone-based fundus camera, the company enables primary care providers, nurses, and community health workers to conduct retinal screenings at the point of care, from rural clinics and satellite vision centres and corporate health programmes. To date, Remidio devices have screened over 16 million patients across 55+ countries, powered by 4,000+ devices deployed worldwide.
95% Lower Cost. 36x ROI. Greater Reach.
Vision loss carries a staggering global economic burden of ~US $410–$450 billion annually. Research shows that every $1 invested in eye care generates $36 in economic value across productivity, education, and quality of life. Remidio’s on-device edge AI makes financially sustainable, population-level screening programmes viable at scale, reaching communities where conventional infrastructure has never reached.
Oculomics: A Window to Wellness
Remidio’s ambitions extend beyond eye disease. A single retinal image can reveal risks far beyond the eye itself. Through its expanding oculomics platform, Remidio is working to transform routine eye exams into non-invasive tests for systemic diseases, using the retina as a window to detect cardiovascular risk, neurological conditions, metabolic disorders, and more. This positions Remidio at the intersection of medtech, AI, and population health, where preventing blindness is only the beginning.
“Fifteen years, 16 million people reached, a quarter of a million in India last year alone. The AI by HER platform recognises that the most meaningful innovation comes from those driven by purpose and a refusal to accept that quality healthcare is a privilege. One scan, many diseases, no lab, no needle. We are building a new category of non-invasive, population-scale screening for the communities that current healthcare infrastructure was never designed to reach. As chronic diseases surge globally, Remidio sits at the intersection of medtech, AI, and population health, and preventing blindness is only the beginning. Our next frontier is oculomics, using the eye as a window to detect systemic disease across the body.”

“This award belongs to every person on our team, every partner who believed in the mission, the regulators who recognised the science, and every patient and health worker who trusted us with their care. Each one has shaped how we apply AI to expand access and prevent blindness across the world. This recognition reflects how far we have come. More than anything, it signals the trust placed in us to reach millions more. I am proud of the commitment this team brings to what we are building. The best is still ahead.”
