IRIS: Intelligent Retinal Imaging Systems

02/19/2026

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among adults with diabetes, and it often progresses with no symptoms at all.

That’s why Star Community Health, part of St. Luke's University Health Network, has made retinal screenings a routine part of care through its partnership with IRIS for the last six years.

In 2025 alone, Star performed 912 diabetic eye exams, identifying eye disease in nearly 300 patients, with more than 23% having immediately sight-threatening conditions.

A quick scan during a routine visit empowered their teams to detect disease earlier, refer patients faster, and expand access in rural communities, all without adding specialty appointments.

When screenings occur in settings where patients already receive care, gaps close and outcomes improve.

See how IRIS helps health systems, FQHCs, and in-home care providers use everyday visits to catch problems earlier.

Closing the care gap for the diabetic eye exam remains one of healthcare’s biggest challenges. Access barriers, financial strain, and limited awareness mean fewer than 40% of patients with diabetes receive this sight-saving exam.

Every unclosed gap means preventable vision loss, widening inequities, and lower quality scores. With IRIS, you can change that by bringing this essential service directly to the point of care.

🌍 This past weekend, IRIS team members joined our incredible partners in Georgia to support their initiatives!

We were honored to provide free retinal screenings alongside the dedicated teams at Grady Health and Emory Eye Center, who delivered a wide range of essential eye care services.

Of the screenings performed by IRIS, 26% revealed pathology, and 73% of those findings were immediately sight-threatening. These results underscore just how critical access to timely eye exams truly is.

Together, we’re making eye care accessible for everyone, everywhere. 💙

Last week, we had the privilege of celebrating an incredible milestone with a small group of users from GradyHealth: 50,000 exams and counting! 🎉

While Grady reached this remarkable achievement last year, we were thrilled to finally honor them in person. Their unwavering commitment to expanding access to care for underserved populations is making a tangible difference in their community by closing critical gaps in healthcare and improving outcomes for patients who would otherwise go without this essential exam.

Because of Grady's dedication, thousands of patients are receiving the care they need and deserve. We're honored to partner with a team that puts patients first and grateful to support their mission of accessible, equitable healthcare.

Here's to Grady Health System and the lives they're changing every single day. Congratulations on this extraordinary achievement!

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working-age U.S. adults, yet it’s largely preventable. The challenge? Fewer than half of patients with diabetes receive their annual eye exam, and up to 70% never complete referrals.

Join Dr. Brett Bielory for an inside look at how AI-enabled retinal screening and referral automation can help close this gap. Whether you’re working in a global health system, an FQHC, or bringing care directly into patients’ homes, you can improve outcomes and strengthen quality scores.
