In 2022 Digital Diagnostics saw incredible growth and expansion including closing a $75M Series B fundraise round to support continued development and implementation of AI diagnostic solutions. Other achievements include:
- Continued International expansion through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Investment

Digital Diagnostics is a pioneering AI diagnostics company on a mission to benefit patients by transforming the accessibility, affordability, equity, and quality of global healthcare through the application of technology in the medical diagnosis and treatment process. LumineticsCore™ (formerly known as IDx-DR), Digital Diagnostics’ flagship product, detects more than mild diabetic retinopathy (including macular edema) at the point-of-care proving a diagnosis when disease is present. After completing a rigorous prospective, preregistered clinical trial at primary care sites across the country, LumineticsCore (formerly known as IDx-DR) became the first FDA De Novo cleared fully autonomous AI diagnostic system to detect disease without a physician’s assistance or overread.
