NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Eye care nonprofit Orbis International announces it has been selected as a winner of the 2023 Amazon Web Services (AWS) IMAGINE Grant, a public grant opportunity open to registered 501(c) nonprofit organizations in the United States and the United Kingdom who are using technology to solve the world's most pressing challenges. The grant will support Orbis's efforts to deploy its artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted technology in low-resource areas to screen for two eye diseases that lead to irreversible blindness, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
