Toku Eyes, a shining star in Outset Ventures' portfolio, has just secured the CE and UKCA marks for its groundbreaking CLAiR technology. This AI-powered marvel is setting new standards in non-invasive cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessments, using just a routine eye exam's retinal images. Imagine, a snapshot of your eye revealing the secrets of your heart health!

This technology promises to make CVD risk assessment accessible to all, especially underserved communities, turning eye care clinics into gateways for cardiovascular health screening.
