Remidio Innovative Solutions has won first place under the Point of Care Devices category at the Andhra Pradesh MedTech Innovation Challenge.

The announcement was made at the programme's grand finale during the MedTech Innovation Challenge Grand Finale, held at the Ratan Tata Innovation Hub (RTIH), Mangalagiri, in the Amaravati capital region.

The recognition follows the deployment of Remidio's InstaEyeClinic Kit at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Guntur, where AI-enabled portable eye screening was run inside a government hospital by paramedical staff, with no ophthalmologist on site.

The InstaEyeClinic Kit combines three handheld devices, a fundus camera, a portable slit lamp and an autorefractometer, with Remidio's offline MediosHI AI in a single battery-operated carrycase. 

The device screens for conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, cataract and refractive error, in under ten minutes per patient, with AI results delivered on-device and without an internet connection.

Over seven active screening weeks (9 February to 30 March 2026), the pilot completed 339 retinal examinations, 213 anterior-segment exams and 489 refraction tests, operated entirely by GMCH paramedical staff. The AI flagged 22 diabetic retinopathy, 10 macular degeneration and 6 glaucoma cases, generating 38 referrals into the hospital's ophthalmology OPD. The macular degeneration cases were the first ever screened for at the facility.

Health Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Satya Kumar Yadav said, “AI is enabling low-cost, high-quality diagnostic services, reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases, and helping families avoid heavy medical expenses. It can serve as an important tool in improving people’s quality of life, as the government proactively adopts emerging technologies across all sectors with a futuristic vision. The dreams of ‘Viksit Bharat’ and ‘Viksit Andhra Pradesh’ could be achieved faster only when people remain healthy.”

Dr. Anand Sivaraman, Director and CEO of Remidio credited the recognition to the GMCH Guntur team, and to the Andhra Pradesh government. "Five conditions screened in under ten minutes, by paramedical staff, with no specialist on site and no electricity, no internet connection, is exactly the access gap we set out to close,” he said.
