Gurugram teen builds AI eye-screening app that has tested 1,650 rural Haryana residents
Seventeen-year-old Siddhartha Manaktala from Gurugram has created an AI-powered smartphone app called EyeSpy to detect eye diseases in underserved communities. The initiative was inspired by his grandmother's eye illness, which drew his attention to the lack of accessible vision care in rural areas. So far, the app has screened more than 1,650 villagers in rural Haryana, many of whom had no prior knowledge of their eye conditions. Developed in collaboration with the L V Prasad Eye Institute, EyeSpy can now identify seven distinct eye diseases. The app is designed to work offline on basic smartphones, making it practical for use in low-connectivity rural settings.
