C3 Med Tech

Yash Nagarsheth (Co-founder & Director) is the product inventor and technical lead — the University of Michigan engineer whose ophthalmic industry experience identified the gap between expensive hospital-grade slit lamps and fundus cameras (which require trained specialists and cost lakhs) and the emerging possibility of smartphone-based optical systems that could perform equivalent diagnostic imaging at a fraction of the cost. His five years working specifically in the ophthalmic device industry gave him the precise domain knowledge needed to design medically valid, clinically accurate, diagnostically reliable devices. Alisha Nagarsheth (Co-founder) handles marketing and business development — connecting the technically complex device to the health system buyers (hospitals, eye camps, government health programmes, telemedicine platforms) who represent C3 Med-Tech's distribution channels.

C3 Med Tech manufactures two FDA-approved, smartphone-based portable ophthalmic screening devices — the C3 Vision (a portable slit lamp that attaches to any smartphone and images the anterior segment of the eye: cornea, lens, iris, and anterior chamber, enabling diagnosis of cataracts and other anterior eye diseases) and the C3 Fundus (a portable retinal imaging device that attaches to any smartphone and images the posterior segment of the eye: retina, optic nerve, macula, enabling diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinopathy of prematurity) — allowing non-specialists and community health workers to conduct hospital-quality eye screenings in remote, rural, and resource-limited settings using devices they already own (smartphones).
