Heru, a developer of artificial intelligence-based vision diagnostic technology, launches PretestPro, a new pretest exam tool that is integrated into its wearable platform. The system performs a comprehensive pretest in under 2 minutes by consolidating multiple traditional eye tests into a single guided workflow.

PretestPro leverages virtual reality (VR) and eye-tracking technology to capture a range of assessments efficiently, Heru shares. The platform guides patients using a digital fixation target and conducts 4 key pretests: an 8-point confrontation visual field, near cover test, extraocular motility, and quantitative pupillometry. By replacing multiple manual devices and steps with a single wearable system, PretestPro is designed to increase testing speed, clinical consistency, and patient comfort.

Heru’s wearable platform is portable and can be used in pretest areas, waiting rooms, or remote locations. An AI-driven “virtual technician” guides patients through the pretest as well as other optional assessments, including visual acuity testing, additional visual field tests (Firefly, suprathreshold, full threshold 24-2, 10-2, 30-2, and Esterman), Ishihara color vision tests, and quantitative pupillometry.

Developed from 15 years of research and clinical validation at the University of Miami’s Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Heru’s platform is FDA-registered, backed by more than 70 patents, and designed to streamline diagnostic workflows by digitizing and automating multiple eye exams in one device.
