Who are we?
OptiCare is founded by two dedicated high school students hoping to improve people's daily lives. Upon hearing about the daily challenges our colour blind friends face, we decided to use our coding, problem solving and marketing skills to build an AI - powered camera app.
Bernice Ho
My name is Bernice and I'm really passionate about business, application of science and charity. Seeing people's smiles always make my day. When I have free time, I enjoy playing squash and listening to music. It was a joy creating the OptiCare app! I hope it makes a big impact to the visually impaired community.
Alex Au
I'm Alex and I really enjoy computer science. From coding an app like OptiCare, to coding a robot, I like the problem-solving process. Outside of computer science, playing volleyball is one of my hobbies.
