Thorofare, NJ – Healio AI and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery announce a strategic alliance to expand access to clinical education from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery’s Annual Scientific Meetings. The proceedings from this year’s meeting are now available within Healio AI’s library of knowledge, powering smarter answers to ophthalmology prompts.

“The partnership between Healio AI and ASCRS is a natural fit, uniting two organizations dedicated to advancing ophthalmic education,” said Joan-Marie Stiglich, ELS, Chief AI Officer at Healio. “Both parties share a commitment to providing healthcare professionals with trusted, up-to-date clinical knowledge. Together, the partnership ensures practitioners have access to insights and information they need to stay at the forefront of patient care.”

ASCRS is the leading anterior segment surgeon society supporting members in improving quality of care and outcomes through forward-thinking approaches to education, advocacy and philanthropy. Since its inception in 1974, ASCRS has driven continuous innovation and built the largest subspecialty society. The ASCRS premier annual scientific meeting provides attendees with over 300 hours of tailored educational opportunities.

“ASCRS has long been committed to advancing ophthalmic education through innovation, and our collaboration with Healio AI represents the next evolution of that commitment,” said Angela Nichols, Chief Operating Officer at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. “We are helping ophthalmologists more efficiently discover timely, relevant educational resources that support lifelong learning and clinical practice. We are excited to explore how we can expand access to education, create more meaningful learning experiences, and ultimately contribute to better patient outcomes.”
