Foresight Research is a health research initiative that brings people together to advance disease prevention and improve health outcomes, using information from eye scans. The organisation highlights that the eye can reveal signs of eye and systemic diseases, potentially helping researchers detect health risks earlier and develop better approaches to prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Foresight invites members of the public to participate by donating eye scans, helping address the shortage of data on early-stage and pre-disease conditions. Its work is grounded in prevention, transparent collaboration and research-led innovation, with an emphasis on building the data, technical and ethical foundations needed to support future healthcare advances. The initiative seeks to foster trust among patients, the public, researchers, industry and policymakers, and to ensure data is used ethically to benefit health.

Foresight is registered with the NHS Health Research Authority under REC 23/EE/0216. Through its research participation programme and collaboration with stakeholders, it aims to accelerate research into eye and systemic diseases and contribute to a healthier future.
