By launching the new Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Benefit, Discovery Health Medical Scheme (DHMS) simplifies access to screening for diabetic retinopathy and introduces cutting-edge AI-driven technology to the process. The Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Benefit follows a simple, three-level process: primary grading by the EyeArt AI System, and if required, secondary grading by an optometrist, and tertiary grading by an ophthalmologist.

“Discovery Health has always focused on incentivising, simplifying and enhancing member access to evidence-based preventative healthcare screening,” says CEO of Discovery Health, Dr. Ryan Noach. “The DHMS Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Benefit is fully aligned to this ethos. It gives members easy access to annual screening, which is conducted using cutting-edge AI technology, followed up by a clear referral process, and supported by scheme benefits requiring no member out-of-pocket payments for primary and secondary grading. Through this benefit, we hope to increase the number of DHMS members who are screened for diabetic retinopathy.”

Vertice EyeCare is excited to offer the cutting-edge EyeArt AI system in South Africa. The EyeArt AI system provides automated screening in a single office visit by utilising AI algorithms to assess retina images in compliance with international standards. Early identification and treatment can reduce the burden of sight-threatening retinopathy, allowing clinicians to identify patients who require immediate medical treatment without having to worry about mydriasis.
