SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA; LONDON, UK; and LA JOLLA, CA – Pangaea Data, a health AI company specializing in identifying untreated and under-treated patients at scale, today announced a strategic investment from Topcon Healthcare, Inc., a global leader in ophthalmic medical devices and digital health solutions. The collaboration aims to accelerate the application of Pangaea’s clinically validated AI platform to address critical care gaps in eye health and systemic disease.

Pangaea Data’s platform automatically analyzes structured and unstructured patient records against clinical guidelines, emulating a clinician’s manual review, to uncover patients who meet diagnostic or treatment criteria, but are not currently in a treatment or management process. Integrated directly into existing EHR and downstream scheduling systems, the platform enables real-time clinical action without disrupting workflows.

“We are thrilled to partner with Topcon Healthcare to scale our platform’s reach and improve timely diagnosis and treatment across eye care,” said Dr. Vibhor Gupta, Founder and CEO of Pangaea Data. “Together, we can empower providers to close care gaps while generating actionable insights for population health, discovery science, and value-based care.”

Through this partnership, Pangaea Data’s AI platform will leverage Topcon Healthcare’s Harmony® digital health platform, creating a seamless interface for optometry and ophthalmology practices to identify patients needing follow-up or further evaluation. This includes patients with conditions such as glaucoma, 50% of whom remain undiagnosed in the U.S.¹, and diabetic retinopathy, where more than one-third of diagnosed diabetics do not receive their recommended annual eye screening².

“Pangaea Data’s unique ability to find missed patients using AI, and to do so without burdening clinicians, has powerful implications for eye care and beyond,” said Ali Tafreshi, CEO & President of Topcon Healthcare, Inc. “This partnership supports our Healthcare from the Eye™ initiative, which uses ocular data and AI to transform how systemic and ocular diseases are detected and managed. We are proud to support Pangaea Data’s mission through this strategic investment.”

Pangaea Data’s platform has already demonstrated impact across multiple therapeutic areas, including pulmonology, cardiology, oncology, nephrology, and infectious diseases. The company’s expansion into eye care through this partnership represents a significant step in advancing AI-driven clinical care globally.

About Pangaea Data
Pangaea Data provides an AI platform that is configured on clinical guidelines to mimic and therefore automate a clinician’s manual process for finding untreated (undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, miscoded, at-risk, uncontrolled) and under-treated patients with hard-to-diagnose conditions for screening and treatment at the point of care. These patients may otherwise be missed, despite information available in their health records, due to treatment for other conditions or administrative reasons. Pangaea’s platform is designed to be deployed behind the healthcare provider’s firewall, without moving data, facilitating privacy compliance. Furthermore, the platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing EHR systems, avoiding disruption to existing clinical or IT workflows. Pangaea Data’s founders, Dr. Vibhor Gupta and Prof. Yike Guo, have over 20 years of academic and industry experience. Their advisors and investors include industry veterans, such as Lord David Prior (Former Chairman, NHS England) and Mr. Andy Palmer (Former Head of Systems Integration, Novartis).
