Addressing the pressing need for improved and wider access to advanced and affordable modern medical care is a critical global challenge that demands our collective attention.
Recent statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) reveal that approximately 34% [1] of the global population lacks access to essential healthcare services. As if it were needed, this stark reality underscores the urgency of making healthcare accessibility a top global priority.
Abdul Latif Jameel Health is at the forefront of healthcare innovation, committed to improving global access to cutting-edge medical solutions. With a strong focus on addressing healthcare disparities between developed and developing nations, they are poised to introduce groundbreaking products to the global healthcare landscape. One remarkable partnership has brought forth the eyemate® System by Implandata Ophthalmic Products GmbH, an advanced digital health tool for glaucoma management. Developed in Hannover, Germany, this revolutionary system offers personalized and proactive therapy guidance to patients.
Equipped with an implantable micro sensor for intraocular pressure measurement, this CE-marked solution empowers physicians to make timely treatment adjustments. A companion smartphone app provides patients with essential disease information, treatment progress monitoring, and medication reminders.
Abdul Latif Jameel Health is dedicated to ensuring widespread access to this innovation, particularly in underserved communities across the Global South.
In addition, Abdul Latif Jameel Health is introducing the Eyerising myopia management device, designed especially for children.
This groundbreaking device utilizes patented Repeated Low-Level Red-Light therapy to stimulate blood flow in the ocular fundus, effectively addressing myopia’s axial lengthening.
It not only offers early treatment options but also holds the potential for RLRL as a new adjunct therapy.
The commitment is clear: Abdul Latif Jameel Health aims to bring this life-changing technology to children in need across the Global South, promising a brighter future with clearer vision. Another significant new partnership with PlasmaJet introduces an all-in-one surgical tool that ensures precision in various surgical procedures, including open and laparoscopic surgeries.

Lastly, their partnership extends to Eye Tech Care, a pioneer in eye health innovation.
Introducing a transformation in glaucoma care with UCP Ultra-sound Cyclo Plasty. This computer-assisted technology offers a quick three-minute procedure with high reproducibility and a short learning curve. It’s a non-invasive approach that minimizes infection risks, making it suitable for a wide range of patients with uncontrolled glaucoma, regardless of their treatment history. Plus, it allows for the possibility of a second UCP treatment or alternative options if necessary.
