Technology and expertise is here and now for those wanting to take stock of their health and prepare for the better tomorrow.

A rapidly ageing population and increased number of non-communicable diseases (NCD) create challenges to the healthcare systems in Hong Kong, according to Professor Benny Chung-Ying Zee, CEO and founder of Health View Bioanalytic Ltd.

“Disease prevention has been the spotlight and it depends on the effective promotion of healthy lifestyles. More and more people begin to understand the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and are willing to spend time and money in achieving that.

Accuracy and Integrity     

“We provide a digital and personalized solution with strong evidence-based research support on its accuracy and integrity where it comes to the detection of risk of NCD such as stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. All our products have gone through years of research and validation before they are launched in the market.”

“People often ignore their health and pay very little attention to improve their lifestyles without knowing that there is a serious consequence, and it is usually too late to reverse a deteriorated health condition once disease onset and symptoms show. NCDs are partly the results of bad habits which are avoidable and thus most NCD are to certain extent preventable. Our solution is easy to use as it requires only a regular retinal image and can be taken in just a few minutes, upload to the cloud and the analysis is fully automatic. It would act as an effective digital health promotion tool in the market to fill in this gap.”

“This unique model guarantees a strong appeal to customers, especially with the growing sense of health responsibility, in the market.” – Professor Benny Chung.

Quick Results,  Quick Remedies!

“We are partnering with a wide range of service providers for the ARIA technology. Customers can assess their risks of stroke and cognitive decline easily and obtain a report in just about 10 minutes! This unique model guarantees a strong appeal to customers, especially with the growing sense of health responsibility, in the market. Our service providers include:

Health centers (e.g. Humansa, by New World Development) – not only they serve as a service location open to the public with rehabilitation and wellness programs, they also have their own business develop arm to acquire projects from other big cooperate to carry out health checks.

Insurance Companies – various insurance companies are working on including this technology in the underwriting process or using this technology to improve their customers health awareness.

Health Check Centres (e.g. Health) – they provide health check services for those who need to have a more in depth medical checkup when needed.

Community Clinics (e.g. Pok Oi Hospital) – the Chinese Medicine Group is offering traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) services to those with risk of stroke and dementia as TCM theory fits perfectly well with our health promotion mission.

Optometry and Ophthalmology shops – (e.g. EyeCare HK) – these service providers have qualified personnel to deal with those with difficulties in retinal imaging (e.g. small pupils) and be able to offer further help in eye care.”

Prevention Before Cure

“Our brain health products including: 1) ARIA-stroke for stroke risk estimate in the community, and 2) ARIA-eWMH for white matter hyperintensities that detect risk of cognitive decline, are both important health promotion targets that we plan to expand our distribution channels widely in the local community. At the same time, we would follow the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on ‘Risk reduction of cognitive decline and dementia’ and work with various service providers who offer lifestyle interventions to their clients together with ARIA-eWMH as a tool to provide more effective preventive interventions in the community.

We are also aiming at extending our market to the south-east Asia countries in the near future. Other countries along the One-Belt One-Road will also be considered.”


ROADMAP TO SUCCESS

  • Founded in 2015
  • Provided service to over 15,000 people in Hong Kong as of today
  • Obtained patents in US, China, and Taiwan region
  • Automatic Retinal Image Analysis (ARIA) automatically analyzes in the cloud server the retinal blood vessels to infer vital information regarding vascular-related health with great confidence in a non-invasive, fast, and convenient way with a very reasonable cost.
  • Our first product launched was ARIA-stroke which provides stroke risk assessment for the community.
  • ARIA-eWMH is available in the market in the end of second quarter of 2019. It assesses the risk of small vessel disease using age-related white matter hyperintensities in the brain. Development was based on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as gold standard and achieved more than 90% sensitivity and specificity.
  • Our products help empower individuals to take control of their own health by having the knowledge of their individual health risks, and to let them know that early lifestyle intervention. This would help prevent onset of various diseases such as cognitive decline and dementia, and achieve better health.
