What Digital Diagnostics Reported About the People's Health Clinic Screening
Digital Diagnostics said on 25 November 2025 that The People's Health Clinic in Utah, which serves uninsured residents of Summit and Wasatch counties, is using LumineticsCore to screen patients with diabetes for eye disease. The company says the clinic completed nearly 100 eye exams in about three months and that roughly 25 percent of those patients were identified for urgent referral to an ophthalmologist.
Why the Digital Diagnostics Utah Results Matter to Primary Care Buyers
A one in four urgent referral rate is high, and the honest reading is that it says as much about the population as about the software: a clinic serving uninsured patients is likely seeing people whose diabetes has gone unwatched for years. That is exactly where moving the exam into the building changes outcomes, because the barrier was never the reading, it was the second appointment. Nearly 100 exams is a small start, and the figures are the company's own, so a larger clinic should ask for referral rates from sites that look like its own patient mix.

How We Would Research the Digital Diagnostics Utah Results
The source gives us the starting point. This is how we would build the next layer of research around it.
- We would ask the clinic, not the vendor, how many of those urgent referrals actually reached an ophthalmologist.
- Then we would ask Digital Diagnostics for the ungradable image rate at that site, because a retake is the hidden cost in primary care screening.
- We would compare the referral rate against a site with insured patients, since a 25 percent rate from an uninsured population will not repeat everywhere.
