eSight empowers the low vision community and advocates to #SeeNewPossibilities for people with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and 50+ other conditions that cause vision loss. Founded by electrical engineer, Conrad Lewis, who wanted to help his two legally blind sisters see, eSight has since grown to become the leading sight enhancement platform led by an executive team with the vision to do more. After seven years of research and development, the first eSight Eyewear prototype was released in 2013. Since then, the vision-enhancing electronic technology has changed the lives of thousands of people living with visual impairments and legal blindness by allowing them to retain their independence and achieve greater visual acuity at home, school, work, and play. Soon after the release of eSight 3, Time Magazine named eSight in its list of “The 25 Best Inventions in 2017” and Buzzfeed featured the device on its roster of “6 Inventions Changing British People`s Lives In 2017”. Following eSight 3, the team continued to develop its technology and, in 2020, launched its latest model — eSight 4. It was thoughtfully crafted to be wireless and hands-free allowing users to retain their mobility as well as be lightweight and streamlined for all-day comfort. The eSight 4 was later recognized as the “Best Wearable/Healthcare Hardware/Software of 2021” by the Tech Ascension Awards, which honors companies that possess the most innovative technology in their respective industry.
In 2015, five seminal randomized controlled trials were published in the neurovascular space demonstrating endovascular thrombectomy to be the new gold standard for treating large vessel occlusion strokes. During that same year, advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning made it possible to analyze medical imaging rapidly and accurately. However, despite having proven effective interventions for stroke, most stroke patients were getting treatment late or not at all. At Stanford University, Dr. Chris Mansi (neurosurgeon) and Dr. David Golan (machine learning researcher) identified this problem and together they sought to change it.
