- Oxford Academy eighth-grader Aaryan Balani has developed a groundbreaking AI-powered device named EYEVA.AI to treat intermittent strabismus, or eye drift.
- The prototype consists of 3D-printed goggles equipped with miniature cameras that track eye movement and issue audible alerts when eye misalignment is detected.
- After four months of development and a pilot study, Aaryan’s innovation received second place in Biomedical Engineering at the 71st Orange County Science and Engineering Fair and the ALDM Young Investigator in Health Science Award.
- EYEVA.AI has earned praise from long-standing biomedical experts and is under consideration for the Thermo Fisher Junior Innovators Challenge.
- Aaryan aims to collaborate with medical professionals to conduct clinical trials and establish whether this technology could provide a long-term solution for individuals managing eye drift.
