GoCheck Kids Announces Partnership With hearX

GoCheck Kids and hearX have partnered to develop the first U.S. smartphone-based combined pediatric vision and hearing screening solution. This collaboration aims to enhance early identification of preventable conditions, thereby improving pediatric healthcare.

Approximately 6.8% of children in the U.S. have diagnosed vision issues, with an additional 5% to 10% potentially undiagnosed. Around 15% of children aged 6 to 19 experience hearing loss. Early detection is key to treating or preventing these issues, with screenings crucial for effective prevention.

"This partnership addresses critical workflow challenges in pediatric healthcare," said GoCheck Kids CEO Naveen Kathuria. "We are excited to integrate hearing and vision screenings on one device."

Key features include multi-screening capabilities, efficiency in storing results, clinically validated accuracy, and user-friendly design, ensuring easy use by healthcare providers.

hearX CEO Nic Klopper emphasized the significance of expanding GoCheck Kids' screening capabilities through this collaboration.
