Artelus is using AI to save people from going blind. Here's how

Rajarajeshwari Kodhandapani has a dream – to screen one million people for diabetic retinopathy (DR) so they can get timely treatment and not risk going blind. She is one of the four co-founders of Artelus, along with tech veterans Vish Durga, Lalit Pant, and Pradeep Walia, who is also a serial entrepreneur. As a former business analyst, she never thought she would become an entrepreneur (though she did want to become a politician at one time). Now, she is part of Artelus, a company that builds advanced screening tools to allow doctors and hospitals to diagnose a greater number of patients in the same time for a variety of diseases. Today, she wants to reach the people they call the "forgotten billion" – those in rural areas who cannot afford healthcare.
