We’re thrilled to welcome Peter Czumbel to the OptikosPrime family! Based at NTNU, Peter will spearhead our research into synthetic data.

This work is central to our mission of making mobile eye testing more precise, reliable, and accessible for everyone with a smartphone. His arrival strengthens our partnership with NTNU, connecting academic research to real-world impact in digital health.

Synthetic Data: Cracking a Machine Learning Challenge

In machine learning, great models depend on great data. But in healthcare, especially eye care, gathering enough diverse, high-quality data is a tough hurdle. Privacy rules and logistical limits often slow things down.

This is where synthetic data comes in. It’s artificial data crafted to mirror real-world complexity without the privacy headaches or collection hassles. We are now close to building synthetic datasets that are realistic, customizable, and scalable.

For mobile eye testing, that is a game changer. Precision is everything, yet real world data can be spotty or scarce across different populations and conditions. Synthetic data lets us bridge those gaps, rigorously test our models, and push the accuracy of tools like VisionCheck to new heights.

Shaping the Future of Eye Care

At OptikosPrime, we dream of a world where vision testing is just a smartphone away. Synthetic data is a key piece of the puzzle, and Peter’s expertise will help us unlock its potential. Paired with research carried out in cooperation with  NTNU, we are diving into one of AI’s most promising frontiers.

We’re proud to have Peter on board and can’t wait to see how this collaboration transforms eye care for millions.
