RHAZES Telehealth is<br \/>\nMalaysia&#8217;s first knowledge-based telehealth service provider through its brand<br \/>\nRhazes TeleOpto. <\/p>\n<p>EyRIS is 42% owned by <b>novaHEALTH Pte Ltd<\/b>, which in turn is<br \/>\nwholly-owned by Nova MSC.<\/p>\n<p><b>Nova MSC&#8217;s General Manager, Mr<br \/>\nNazerollnizam Kasim<\/b>, said, &#8220;We are<br \/>\noptimistic that the collaboration with both AMO and RHAZES will drive forward<br \/>\nthe adoption of SELENA+ in Malaysia. During the pandemic, we have seen a rise<br \/>\nin telehealth and how it has gradually moved towards mainstream adoption.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>According to <b>En. Ahmad Fadhullah Fuzai, President of AMO<\/b>, &#8220;The deployment of<br \/>\nSELENA+ to AMO&#8217;s member practices across the country will help to improve the<br \/>\nrange and quality of our services. This synergistic partnership with Nova will<br \/>\nsee the launch of SELENA+, and it will be deployed initially in <b>55 practices<\/b><br \/>\nacross Malaysia through Rhazes&#8217; TeleOpto Platform, eventually expanding to the<br \/>\nother member practices within a year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SELENA+ is capable of detecting up to <b>3<br \/>\nretinal diseases<\/b>, principally diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma suspect and<br \/>\nage-related macular degeneration. Early screening and detection of these<br \/>\ndiseases can significantly reduce vision loss, and in the case of diabetic<br \/>\nretinopathy, studies have shown that diabetes-related vision loss can be<br \/>\nreduced by up to 47 percent. EyRIS&#8217; SELENA+ has been approved for use by the<br \/>\nMalaysian Medical Device Authority since 22nd June 2020.\n<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that,<br \/>\nthere will also be an addition of a new algorithm to detect chronic kidney disease<br \/>\n(&#8220;CKD&#8221;) through the same fundus image used by EyRIS&#8217; SELENA+ to detect the 3<br \/>\nretinal diseases mentioned earlier. <\/p>\n<p><b>Nova MSC&#8217;s Group Chief Executive<br \/>\nOfficer, Mr Lai Teik Kin<\/b> added, &#8220;The addition of this new<br \/>\nalgorithm will help us to be a gamechanger in the first stage diagnostic, a<br \/>\ndrive towards being able to implement rapid screening tools to aid early<br \/>\ndetection for systemic diseases. Our CKD algorithm boasts an 85 percent<br \/>\naccuracy rate, and uses of the non-invasive fundus imaging allows results to be<br \/>\ngenerated within <b>10-15 seconds<\/b> with ease, speed and accuracy,&#8221; Mr Lai<br \/>\nsaid. <\/p>\n<p>He also pointed<br \/>\nout that the recent gold award won by EyRIS at the Techblazer Awards 2021 in<br \/>\nthe Most Promising Innovation category is a sign of the Group&#8217;s push to bring<br \/>\nworld-class technology into the world. The Techblazer Awards is <b>Singapore&#8217;s<br \/>\nhighest accolade<\/b> for technological innovation. <\/p>\n<p>The push to<br \/>\ndeploy SELENA+ into mainstream adoption in healthcare services has seen the<br \/>\navailability of its technology in 26 countries. <\/p>\n<p>In order to<br \/>\ncontinue to expand the capabilities in disease detection through its<br \/>\ncutting-edge AI deep learning technology, EyRIS has inked a Research<br \/>\nCollaboration Agreement with a specialty centre under the National Healthcare<br \/>\nGroup (NHG) to develop a new proprietary AI that detects melanoma using a<br \/>\nmobile phone camera. This was facilitated by NHG&#8217;s Centre for Medical<br \/>\nTechnologies and Innovations (CMTi). <\/p>\n<p>Melanoma is the<br \/>\ndeadliest form of skin cancer, and early detection is able to increase the<br \/>\n5-year survival rate to 99 percent. With 1 in every 3 cancer diagnoses being<br \/>\nskin cancer and the high melanoma incidence rate of 3.4 per 100,000 worldwide,<br \/>\nthe ability to detect skin cancer early through non-invasive, mobile imaging<br \/>\nwill contribute to the fight against skin cancer mortality. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/malaysia\/2022\/02\/21\/120914\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nova MSC signs MoU with AMO and RHAZES that will enable the deployment of its EyRIS&#8217; AI-Deep Learning Technology, SELENA+ to more than 1,000 AMO members via RHAZES Telehealth service SELENA+ is capable of detecting up to 3 retinal diseases, principally diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma suspect and age-related macular degeneration EyRIS SELENA+ will also become a &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20567"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
