About
Sugar Retina AI is a Swiss healthcare AI startup developing explainable clinical decision-support technology for diabetic-retinopathy screening. Our platform is designed to analyse retinal images, prioritise patients according to risk, support clinician review and produce transparent, auditable reports.
We are seeking to join a Horizon Europe consortium addressing challenge-driven AI innovation or decentralised and federated AI data processing.
We can contribute:
• Healthcare AI product development and system architecture
• Computer-vision workflows for retinal-image analysis
• Explainable AI and human-in-the-loop clinical review
• Privacy-conscious and federated data-processing concepts
• React/FastAPI prototype development and API integration
• Clinical dashboards, risk prioritisation and audit trails
• Demonstration, user validation and dissemination activities
We are looking for an experienced consortium coordinator, hospitals and eye clinics, universities, medical-imaging researchers, federated-learning specialists, data-governance experts and clinical-validation partners.
Our objective is to co-develop and validate trustworthy AI that supports scalable screening while keeping clinicians responsible for final medical decisions.
