BizDev / Country Manager France + BeNeLux (w/m/d | 50-100%)

Our mission is to prevent vision loss and ultimately blindness by developing AI software that assists eye doctors in therapy planning for their patients. We use computer vision deep learning models (AI) trained on thousands of cases and millions of images to predict disease progression, individualize therapy and improve outcomes. The decision support algorithm targets widespread eye diseases like Age-related Macular Degeneration ("DMLA” in French, causing 50% of cases of blindness).
