Accessible & affordable health screenings through the eyes
About us
Toku is creating a world focused on preventive healthcare, using the eye as a window to our health. We believe every person in the world should have access to early diagnosis of health conditions before it’s too late. How? by developing tools using AI and retinal images to enable accessible healthcare for early and accurate diagnosis of health conditions to empower everyday individuals. The retina has long been recognized as a unique window into an individual’s health, as the biomarkers present in retinal images may provide valuable insights into aging, inflammatory health, neurological health, and cardiovascular health. BioAge Not all people age equally. Every person has two ages: our chronological age (how old you are) and our biological age. Biological age (or BioAge) is a measure of how well our cells, tissues and organs are aging. Toku’s BioAge product determines a person’s biological age, which can give an indication of their overall health, by looking at vascular, metabolic, inflammatory and lifestyle indicators present in the retinal image. By knowing our BioAge earlier, we can make conscious health choices to improve our health. Unlike our chronological age, our BioAge is not fixed. BioAge uses retinal images and hence is non-invasive, time efficient, cost effective, and can be delivered by trusted healthcare providers. The retinal vasculature allows direct non-invasive visualization of the body’s microvasculature, as it is the only part of the body where scientists and clinicians can directly assess the health of an individual’s neuro-vascular tissues. Toku’s AI platform utilizes a revolutionary, patented method to evaluate more than 23 million technical parameters and 12 biological parameters in each retinal image, to produce a BioAge outcome. The AI engine has learned patterns from images from over 1.3 million retinal images to recognize the various features of health.

Toku Eyes = Healthcare from the Eye. It takes one night to realize how much you are yet to achieve! Listening to the amazing David Rhew, M.D. (Chief Medical Officer of Microsoft), Dr Robert Weinreb (No #1 on The Ophthalmologist Power List), and Ali Tafreshi (CEO & President of Topcon Healthcare), I could not help feeling excited, and under-achieved at the same time!!! Also, special thanks to Halit Winter & Manjot Gill MD, MS, FASRS, FRCS(C) for their hospitality at Northwestern Medicine ! and my awesome friend Eliav Shaked 🇮🇱 for the best pair of sunglasses I have ever had!!!

I could not be more proud of my team, and thanks Francesca Logan, Yariv L. and Kate Blackbourn who accepted this award on behalf of all of us.
