History
GiveVision is a not-for-dividend company founded in 2014 with the aim of developing assistive technologies that can transform the lives of people with severe sight impairments. It has been developing accessibility tools since 2014 and pioneered the world's first VR-based wearable vision aid system, SightPlus™, and a sight testing kit, SightCheck. In 2016–2017, SightPlus™ was born as a wearable vision aid powered by a smartphone. In 2017–2018, GiveVision secured additional funding from Pfizer Healthcare Hub and the NHS to register SightPlus™ as a regulated medical device (CE-Class I Medical Device). In 2018–2019, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London and UCL published a clinical study finding that SightPlus™ improves sight for 98% of study participants. In 2019–2021, a consortium of senior clinicians from Manchester Royal Eye Infirmary, Roche Thailand and GiveVision embarked on a two-year project to develop a home vision monitoring system, SightCheck. In 2021–2022, Roche funded a real-world trial of SightCheck in Thailand, and SightCheck was approved for a multi-site 12-month study to monitor patients' vision and evaluate adherence to Anti-VEGF treatment. In 2022–2023, GiveVision ran Premier League football and Paris Basket pilots, helping make live sports and entertainment more accessible for people living with sight loss.
