A Guilford-based startup, Tesseract Health, hopes to use novel multidimensional sensors and artificial intelligence to take an “eye selfie,” allowing doctors to peer into the back of the eye so they can better detect Alzheimer’s, MS, diabetes and even cancer, all from the retina.
The startup was founded by serial entrepreneur Jonathan Rothberg and is based out of his 4Catalyzer incubator program in Guilford, which boasts two companies that have recently gone public and raised a combined $1.1 billion.
