AI Startup Retinov Aims to Prevent Vision Loss from Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Posted on March 11th, 2025
SPARK Bordeaux’s Soufiane Ajana created Retinov which is a digital platform designed to predict the risk of developing Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. It uses AI-based solutions to provide personalized insights and preventive measures. The tool includes a blood test called “Tina,” which evaluates Omega-3 levels in the retina, as higher Omega-3 levels are associated with a reduced risk of AMD. Retinov offers dietary coaching based on biomarkers to help users maintain retinal health, and it empowers patients to take control of their vision health and slow disease progression. Retinov addresses a gap in healthcare by focusing on prevention rather than reaction. It aims to improve the quality of life for individuals at risk of AMD. The tool is part of a broader mission to support healthy aging through innovative technology.
