A business unit of Topcon Healthcare, THINC is fueled by world-class partners, best-in-class clinical expertise, Harmony® as its connectivity platform & unparalleled data repositories. THINC accelerates innovation in digital health technology. We focus on data-driven solutions for healthcare assessment and management, starting with eye care and expanding to other specialties. Our goal is to transform healthcare delivery through Healthcare from the Eye™.
We aim to reduce the burden of chronic disease by fostering collaboration and information sharing between healthcare providers, researchers, and industry partners. We believe open communication will transform the development of data-driven, personalized healthcare solutions.
THINC collaborators are developing innovative data-driven software to improve the identification of systemic, neurological, and eye diseases, beginning in eye care, primary care, and extending across the continuum of care. These solutions will allow for earlier identification of patients who need care, leading to better management, streamlined referrals, and opportunities for early intervention. By detecting diseases sooner, patients can make lifestyle changes, receive more effective treatment, and ultimately reduce the impact of chronic disease on themselves, their families, and healthcare systems.
