About Aqueo
We build privacy‑first digital pre‑screening tools for dry eye to help clinics standardize intake and triage.
Decision‑support only. Not a diagnostic tool.
Our Mission
Aqueo Health Inc. is dedicated to improving dry eye care through intelligent, privacy-first digital solutions. We provide clinics with evidence-based pre-screening tools that enhance triage efficiency and support better patient outcomes.
Our platform combines validated clinical assessments with advanced blink analysis to help healthcare providers prioritize care and streamline workflow—all while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and data protection.
We improve dry‑eye care by collecting meaningful pre‑visit data that respects patient privacy and clinic workflows.
What We Do
Aqueo offers a comprehensive digital pre-screening solution for dry eye conditions. Our platform integrates:
- DEQ-5 Assessment: Validated symptom questionnaire that provides standardized dry eye evaluation scores
- Blink Analysis: Objective metrics including blink interval, completeness, and quality indicators
- Triage Support: Evidence-based recommendations to help clinics prioritize patient care
- Workflow Integration: Seamless integration with clinic processes and patient management systems
Our tool is designed as decision-support only—it assists with triage and workflow but does not provide diagnosis or treatment recommendations.
Why Now
Clinics face intake bottlenecks. Pre‑visit data reduces friction, enables consistent triage, and uses clinic time more effectively.
Privacy & Compliance
Privacy and data protection are fundamental to everything we do. Aqueo operates as an authorized agent under PHIPA (Personal Health Information Protection Act) in Ontario and as a service provider under PIPEDA.
We process pseudonymous triage data on behalf of clinics—we never receive direct patient identifiers. All clinical data is stored in Canada (AWS ca-central-1) with encryption at rest and in transit. Each clinic maintains full control as the Health Information Custodian (HIC).
For detailed information about our privacy practices, data handling, and compliance measures, please see our Privacy Policy.
Our Approach
Aqueo is built on three core principles:
- Evidence-Based: Our methods are grounded in validated clinical research and peer-reviewed methodologies
- Privacy by Design: Data minimization, pseudonymization, and Canadian data residency are built into our architecture from the ground up
- Clinic-Centric: We serve as your authorized agent, processing data only on your behalf and under your instructions
