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.

Going back to our roots! Toku Eyes started in Auckland, New Zealand, and is now based in San Diego, CA. I was fortunate to have a great conversation with Susie Ferguson and Mihingarangi Forbes from RNZ who clearly understood the life-saving potential of our technology, for all #Kiwis https://lnkd.in/gWyTmdgS

Two optoms are on the list of EY New Zealand Entrepreneur Of The Year!!!! This is so cool !!!! I was stoked when I found that I am a finaIist, but I was over the moon when I saw Simran Kaur was also nominated. She was my student a few years ago at the The University of Auckland. Only, she has achieved in her 20s, what I have achieved in my 40s! I am SUPER PROUD of the new generation of Optoms, or as Reade Fahs calls them Optom 3.0!!! https://lnkd.in/gAnkF-bM
