The Problem

Worldwide, 1.1 billion people live with vision loss, but don't need to. This number is set to grow to 1.8 billion in the next 30 years. Simple, cost-effective treatments exist but specialists are in short supply and resources are limited.

The Solution

Peek's software, programme design, and data intelligence platform help communities and eye health school programmes become more efficient, equitable, and effective.

How it works?

  • Step 1: Connect with NGOs, Ministries of Health, and hospitals to implement the full journey of an eye health programme
  • Step 2: Conduct full program planning with partner organizations to scope the workflow, configure software and train screeners, eye health specialists, and programme managers to use Peek
  • Step 3: Launch a Peek-powered programme: live track all aspects of the journey to ensure no one is being left behind. Provide live data access to all program managers and easily exportable reports on a number of demographics
  • Step 4: Conduct an in-depth iteration review where expert data analysts locate program barriers to care and collaborate with program partners and understand why pain points are occurring and find solutions
  • Step 5: Launch subsequent iterations of the program and continue to monitor for signs of program drop-off

Bridging the digital divide

Peek is focused on making the invisible visible in eye health by bringing services to last-mile healthcare and powering its partners to reach those who are typically left behind.

Impact and highlights

  • In Pakistan, the first CBM program using Peek launched in 2018 with just three sites. It has since expanded to connect more than 130 health facilities across two provinces with over 1,500 schools being integrated.
  • 1,500 female health workers are being trained to use Peek for household screening.
  • Referrals to a district hospital for refractive errors decreased from 41% to just 1% after Peek was introduced. Refractive errors could instead be treated at the primary level, freeing up specialist hospital resources for more complex conditions.
  • Trials in Kenya showed that three times more people received care when the programme was supported by Peek.
  • An economic evaluation in Kenya has demonstrated a substantial cost saving per patient when Peek was compared to the standard of care. The study calculated average savings of US$8.61 per patient at the primary care level and US$263.60 per patient at the hospital level when using Peek.

Plans for expansion

Preparing the launch of a national programme in Botswana. Soon to be powering programmes in Malawi, Sierra Leone, and Zambia. By 2032, Peek aims to be working in 15-20 countries.
