Heru has reached a milestone of more than one million eyes examined using its wearable platform.

Founded by Mohamed Abou Shousha, MD, PhD, an associate professor of ophthalmology at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the device is a portable, FDA-registered wearable that digitizes and automates a broad range of eye exams traditionally performed with bulky, manual equipment. Combining artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and intuitive design, the platform consolidates multiple diagnostic functions into a single, patient-friendly headset. Guided by interactive visual stimuli, the device conducts standardized exams. AI algorithms tailor each test in real time. Clinicians receive objective results instantly via a digital dashboard, allowing for rapid interpretation and seamless integration into medical records. According to Heru, by replacing several legacy devices, the platform streamlines workflows and broadens access to advanced diagnostics—from busy specialty practices to community and remote care environments.

“Surpassing 1 million eyes tested is a testament to the trust that eye care professionals have placed in Heru to help them care for their patients,"said Dr. Abou Shousha. “This milestone represents a million opportunities where patients received a higher standard of care, where doctors were empowered with immediate, objective data and where vision-threatening conditions may have been detected earlier.”

Heru’s suite of tests includes visual acuity, pupil assessment, eye alignment and motility, color vision, and visual field testing. Heru’s device is FDA-registered and protected by 74 patents.
