NEC Health launches Online Portal for OptoMize to transform diabetic eye screening

NEC Software Solutions has launched a new Online Portal for OptoMize, moving diabetic eye screening communications from analogue to digital. The module enables programmes to replace print-based letters with secure, real-time digital communications, improving patient engagement, reducing administrative burden, and lowering costs.

For service users, the Online Portal means instant access to screening letters and results, anytime and anywhere, with no delays or lost post. It also gives patients a secure record of their screening history, supporting them to take a more active role in their healthcare.

For screening teams, the benefits are equally clear with reduced printing, less admin, and measurable efficiency gains, all while contributing to a lower carbon footprint. Integrated directly into OptoMize, the module links digital communications to appointment bookings, giving teams clear visibility and freeing up time to focus on care.

The Online Portal also provides valuable insights into service user engagement, with digital audit trails and data to help reduce missed appointments and streamline entire diabetic screening programmes.
