OUI Inc. is proud to announce that its initiative, “Eliminating Blindness Through a New Ophthalmology Diagnosis Model Using Smart Eye Camera,” has been honored with the Excellence Award at the 5th Japan Service Awards.

The Japan Service Awards, organized by SPRING (Service Productivity & Innovation for Growth) of the Japan Productivity Center, recognize outstanding and innovative services that create new value and drive the advancement of service industries. This year’s competition drew 768 entries, of which 33 initiatives, including OUI Inc.’s, were selected as award recipients.

OUI Inc.’s award-winning initiative leverages its proprietary smartphone-attachable ophthalmic medical device, the Smart Eye Camera, to build a new ophthalmology care model that eliminates barriers to eye care access. Through services such as “Plus Eye Doctor” (remote ophthalmic image interpretation) and “Mobile Eye Scan” (on-site corporate eye screening), the initiative enables a remote diagnosis ecosystem connecting patients who lack access to ophthalmologists with specialists located elsewhere.

With this prestigious recognition as motivation, OUI Inc. will further accelerate its mission to eliminate preventable blindness and visual impairment in Japan and around the globe.
