Prevent Disease at Its Metabolic Roots

Healthcare shows up too late, as we wait for disease to appear. Modern diseases such as forms of cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative & diabetes are caused by:

  • Insulin resistance
  • Chronic low-grade inflammation
  • Microvascular dysfunction
  • Mitochondrial impairment


Collectively known as metabolic syndrome (Saklayen, 2018; Noubiap, 2025; Horton, 2020). About 75-90% of the world population are estimated to have metabolic syndrome (Lee, 2021; Noubiap et al., 2025)

Roots Health is on a mission to transform healthcare from treating disease to preventing it.

By combining non-invasive retinal imaging and AI, we aim to make metabolic health checks accessible, scalable and actionable. 


We invite partners who share this vision to join us in building a future where prevention is proactive, data-driven, and accessible to all.
