ZEISS is introducing the ZEISS Research Data Platform (ZEISS RDP) and is reinforcing its ongoing research collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim to accelerate personalized, data-driven treatment approaches in ophthalmology.
"The future of healthcare is in the data. At ZEISS, we are delivering digital innovation to help shape the future of ophthalmology, investing in research methods that empower clinicians and researchers in balancing their clinical care and research requirements," says Euan S. Thomson, Ph.D., Head of the Digital Business Unit for ZEISS Medical Technology. "The introduction of the ZEISS RDP reflects our commitment to advancing ophthalmic care through smarter, AI-powered tools."
The ZEISS RDP is a cloud-based, AI-driven solution designed to transform ophthalmic research workflows. By enabling seamless integration of clinical and research data, ZEISS RDP empowers clinicians and scientists to accelerate discoveries through smarter, more efficient research.
Accelerate research breakthroughs - Using AI-powered tools, clinicians and researchers can swiftly convert their research hypotheses into quantifiable biomarkers. The platform allows users to train their own algorithms and let AI handle complex, time-consuming data analysis, significantly improving efficiency.
Unify research data – Clinicians and researchers can aggregate diverse datasets and formats from multiple sources, facilitating insightful analysis from both medical and surgical imaging data, in addition to other data sources. The platform can consolidate datasets from collaborators while allowing the clinician or research team to retain full control over their data and algorithm with secure user-based access.
Streamline the research workflow – The platform helps clinicians and researchers eliminate silos by integrating research and clinical workflows. Users can automate their data collection from ZEISS FORUM, for example, to reduce manual transfers and errors, increasing overall workflow efficiency.
Following a successful pilot phase, the company plans to launch the ZEISS RDP in select countries throughout 2025.
Ongoing research collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim
ZEISS Medical Technology and Boehringer Ingelheim continue to advance their research collaboration to champion data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) in the pursuit of earlier detection and prediction capabilities to preserve vision through new treatment pathways and more personalized and precise care for patients with chronic retinal diseases.
"At Boehringer Ingelheim, we're working toward a future in which earlier detection and intervention result in long-term, real-world outcomes that prevent vision loss due to chronic retinal diseases," says Heiko G. Niessen, Ph.D., Global Head of Translational Medicine, Eye Health, at Boehringer Ingelheim. "Our collaboration with ZEISS Medical Technology exemplifies our strategy to work with like-minded partners who share our goal of preserving and protecting eyesight and people's way of life."
