Dr. Jorge Cuadros is the founder of EyePACS, a program used for detecting diabetic retinopathy in over 1000 community health centers providing over one million telemedicine based retinal exams over the past two decades. He leads the development of the software and clinical collaboration necessary for EyePACS to provide screening at widespread locations in diverse settings. He is co-author and co-editor of three books, “Teleophthalmology” and “Digital Teleretinal Screening”, and “Digital Eye Care and Teleophthalmology”. His interest in diabetes, ocular telehealth, and the implementation of EyePACS has led to many invited and contributed talks at a wide variety of conferences in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and throughout the US. He has served as a consultant for preparing acceptable wording for California Assembly Bills 354, 1224, and 175 that provided a legal framework for teleophthalmology in California. He has been conducting several clinical trials on innovative technologies, such as automated retinal image reading, laser imaging devices, and primary care training programs, for expanding access to diabetic eye care in underserved communities.
