Heru

When independent research leads, the whole category benefits. Congratulations to authors Jesús Vera Vilchez, Dr. Alan N. Glazier, OD, FAAO, Dipl. ABO, Mark T. Dunbar, Douglas Ripkin, and Dr. Masoud Nafey, OD, MBA, FAAO on this systematic review, already earning meaningful traction with 4,000+ views and growing citations since publication. The review found that several VR-based perimetry systems show good agreement with the Humphrey Field Analyzer, reinforcing the value of rigorous, independent validation as the technology matures. As VR-based perimetry moves from promising to proven, Heru is committed to holding our technology to that same standard of evidence. 🔗 Read the full review here: https://lnkd.in/eXSf7nyj #Ophthalmology #Optometry #Glaucoma #Telemedicine #Heru #VRPerimetry #MDPIVision

Congratulations to our CEO and Founder Mohamed Abou Shousha, MD, FRCS, PhD on this incredible milestone! Heru is built on clinically validated thinking, academic rigor, and real-world innovation you can trust, guided by a founder whose leadership shows up in every decision, detail, and outcome.

“Innovation means making the lives of other humans better. It’s that simple.” — Dr. Dorothy Hitchmoth On the latest episode of Wavelengths, Dr. Dorothy Hitchmoth reflects on more than 30 years of work across optometry, academic medicine, tele-retinal imaging, healthcare policy, and product innovation—and shares why technology should always come back to one purpose: improving people’s lives. From her early work at the VA using retinal imaging to detect diabetic retinopathy, to her perspective on AI overlays, smart eyewear, ocular biomarkers, and predictive care, Dr. Hitchmoth explores what becomes possible when clinicians can capture, interpret, and act on data from the eye earlier and more intelligently. Dr. Hitchmoth is a nationally recognized optometrist, educator, patient advocate, and healthcare innovator whose colleagues have dubbed her “America’s Eye Doctor.” She is a former Department of Veterans Affairs residency director, VA residency-trained dual-board-certified diplomate, Fellow of the Academy and the Optometric Retina Society, and longtime leader in retinal imaging, telehealth, healthcare quality outcomes, policy, and ocular biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease.

Eye exams used to mean multiple devices, long setup times, and inconsistent data. Now, Heru brings 12 clinically-validated modalities into a single platform to save you time, money and space. Learn More about what a Primed Practice looks like: https://bit.ly/seeheru

Back where it started. Heru at Digital Eyecon — Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the #1 U.S. eye hospital, where this platform was born. 15 years of vision-science research, 25+ peer-reviewed publications, and a VR-powered eye-exam platform now at 1.5M+ eyes tested and ~75,000 monthly tests across the install base. Showing what one 13-oz headset looks like in clinical hands: 13 distinct eye tests covering more than half the comprehensive exam, before the doctor walks in. #Ophthalmology #DigitalHealth #BascomPalmer #HeruPrime

Honored to be highlighted by the University of Miami for our innovations in healthcare at eMerge Americas conference last week. Heru Prime's combination of AI, Virtual Reality, and the ability to conduct multiple key vision tests using a single wearable device has shown meaningful gains in clinic efficiency and patient experience.

It’s true. We’re thrilled to introduce PretestPro, our latest innovation, which consolidates four critical pretests (8-point confrontation visual field (VF), near cover test, extraocular motility (EOM), and quantitative pupillometry) in just 2 minutes—guided by Nora, our friendly fixation target. Four tests. Two Minutes. Zero Guesswork. See PretestPro (and Nora!) in action by scheduling a demo, today: https://bit.ly/4rKQyQW 👀

“The optometrist of the future looks at the whole body while focusing on the eyes.” — Millicent Knight, OD, FAAO, FAARM On the latest episode of Wavelengths, Dr. Knight shares how her work helped expand optometry’s role in hospital-based care, plus practical advice for integrating nutrition and inflammation-focused approaches into eye care—and what’s next in AI-driven insights and wearables for earlier detection and smarter monitoring. Dr. Knight is a visionary leader, patient advocate, and the former Senior Vice President of Medical and Professional Affairs, North America for EssilorLuxottica. Before that, she was the Vice President of Professional Affairs for Johnson & Johnson Vision, North America, where she directed their educational platform “THE VISION CARE INSTITUTE” and led the US & Canadian professional strategy. She’s opened multiple practices, consulted for major industry corporations, previously principal investigator for medical devices including in-market research, served on the National Advisory Eye Council of the National Eye Institute, and coaches and cultivates growing practices including advocating for underrepresented populations within optometry.

What if your patients actually liked their visual field test? According to Anil Vedula, MD, traditional testing discomfort is "90% of the battle." When patients dread the test, compliance drops. That’s why his practice switched to the Heru. The result? A more intuitive, faster, and—most importantly—comfortable experience that patients actually prefer. "Just that alone has made a big difference in our clinic in terms of saving time, patient happiness and being at the edge of technology,” he said. “When you put these goggles on someone’s face, they say, ‘Wow, you guys are doing something that nobody else is doing.’ In many ways, it is a practice builder.” says Dr. Vedula. In a field in which patient experience is paramount, Vedula said this could make a huge difference.
