Peaky Blinder
Not everyone can reach a specialist. Peaky Blinder brings the first screening to a phone camera, catching diabetic retinopathy early enough to matter.

Access to eye specialists is uneven, so we brought the first screening to the device most people already carry.
The problem
Diabetic retinopathy is treatable when caught early — but early is exactly when most people never get screened, because a specialist visit is out of reach.
What we built
A phone-camera screening flow backed by Azure Vision that flags signs of diabetic eye disease, plus a chatbot that helps people understand results and next steps in plain language.
Results
Peaky Blinder took runner-up and the Audience Award at COMPFEST's AI Innovation Challenge 2024 and reached the Gemastik national finals.
