AEYE Health Expands Epic Integration for Portable Fully-Autonomous AI Eye Screening Across the US Healthcare SystemNEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AEYE Health, the leading company in retinal diagnostics and developer of AEYE-DS, the fastest growing solution for diabetic eye exams in the US, announced the expanded deployment across the country of its integration with Epic, one of the most widely used electronic medical record (EMR) platforms in the United States. Deployed across dozens of hospitals and healthcare systems using Epic, this enhanced integration empowers primary care providers, endocrinologists, and diabetes centers to perform on-the-spot diabetic eye exams without physician interpretation, closing major care gaps, supporting HEDIS measures, and fully reimbursable under CPT code 92229, the first-ever AI-specific reimbursement code in the US. Through this seamlss integration, healthcare providers can now order an AI diabetic retinopathy exam directly from the patient chart. A nurse or medical assistant captures a single retinal image per eye using a portable camera integrated with AEYE-DS, and results are automatically returned to the patient's medical record within seconds. When signs of disease are detected, an automated alert is sent to ophthalmology for timely follow-up. The entire process - from order to results - takes less than one minute. Full automation of reimbursement code billing and care gap reporting is also supported. "This enhanced integration makes diabetic retinopathy screening in Epic faster and more seamless than ever," said Zack Dvey-Aharon, Ph.D., Co-Founder & CEO of AEYE Health. "With an exam completed in under one minute and everything being automated, healthcare providers can focus on what is really important and deliver fast and accurate AI retinal screening right at the point of care. Adoption is accelerating rapidly across hospitals and clinics, bringing AEYE-DS to patients nationwide and preventing vision loss." AEYE Health already supports several major EMR platforms and continues to expand, broadening access to AI retinal screening across healthcare settings.
