CE marking, another important milestone
Along with the presentation at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, they fulfilled another important objective in its commitment to innovation in the field. Its UMI DR software has obtained the CE Marking certification for medical devices against Regulation 2017/745 (MDR), which endorses at the highest regulatory and technical level the Artificial Intelligence developed by ULMA for the screening of diabetic retinopathy.
This certification allows them to market its solution throughout the European Union and in other parts of the world. Solutions have already begun to be marketed to prestigious entities in the public and private sectors in the national and international markets.
We work with the conviction that technological innovation can and should be used to improve people’s lives. For this reason, having launched this first project in the field of ophthalmology, we are already working on solutions for glaucoma and macular degeneration and developing solutions in other medical specialities such as dermatology and cardiology.
