Insights & ideas

Zack Dvey-Aharon frames the eyes as a diagnostic mirror of the body, arguing that if the brain and heart are the body's engines, retinal imaging can reveal what is happening inside them [1]. This conviction, formed through his machine learning research into phonocardiograms, EEG, and fMRI data, led him to see retinal screening as an underexplored frontier for automated, AI-based diagnostics [1]. His central idea is that AI-driven analysis of retinal images can be used not just for eye disease but as a broader screening tool to detect a range of medical conditions, prevent blindness, and ultimately save lives [1].

He also argues for practical deployment of this technology within everyday clinical settings, positioning primary care clinics, in partnership with academic medical centers, as the right environment to bring automated retinal screening to patients and improve outcomes at scale [1].

Later, when he was doing his Ph.D. in machine learning at Tel Aviv University, he developed a fascination with machine learning and the way it can advance healthcare. When he researched heart data (phonocardiograms) and brain data (EEG and fMRI), he realized that if the brain and the heart are the engines of the body, then the eyes are its mirror. With this realization, he began exploring healthcare of the eyes, and discovered the world of retinal screening. In 2018, he turned to his friend Danny Margalit, former founder of one of Israel’s largest tech companies, who was immediately intrigued by the system Zack started developing.iHeartRadio
