VC firm Cottonwood Technology Fund led the funding round backing the technology, with participation from NOM, Pupil Labs, Uneti Ventures, and existing investor Blue Sparrows MedTech Fund.

Reyedar, previously known as Reperio Medtech, uses artificial intelligence (AI)-powered infrared eye tracking glasses to measure eye movements reacting to visual stimuli. The data collected from the automated screening technique is then analysed by algorithms and converted to clinical information.

The Dutch company, a spin-off from the ophthalmology department of the University Medical Center Groningen, has called the screening test SONDA (Standardized Oculomotor and Neuro-ophthalmic Disorders Assessment). Positive results using the test have been published in Frontiers in Neurology.
