Meteorosis Labs · Amman, Jordan · est. as Gr8iDoc
Precision software, built by a surgeon.
Eighteen products across the clinic, the classroom and the app store — an ophthalmology EMR, seven enterprise systems running inside a national hospital network, a retina academy, and a shelf of bilingual Android apps. All of it designed, coded and shipped by Dr. Shehab Al-Abed — Head of Medical Retina at the Jordanian Royal Medical Services, RETFound Global investigator, and head of the Jordan A-Eye Research Group.

The Android shelf.
A new developer account, a growing catalogue. Each app is built to run entirely on the device, in Arabic and English, with no account required to start using it.
I Will Guess It: Mind Oracle
رح احزرهاA twenty-questions oracle with a Bayesian inference engine that runs entirely offline. Think of any animal, fruit or vegetable; it narrows 118 candidates by information gain and names yours — then opens an illustrated codex of taxonomy, habitat and folklore.

حملي أسبوعاً بأسبوعAn Arabic-first companion through all forty weeks — what is developing, what is changing, and what to raise at the next antenatal visit. Written for Arabic speakers rather than translated at them. Currently with closed-testing users.

Fifteen applications, four worlds.
Systems that run real clinics, teach real trainees, carry a hospital network's quality data, and sit on the phones of people who will never know a doctor wrote them. Some are open; the rest run behind a login inside the institutions they were built for.
Clinical systems
04OptiVision EMR
Smart ophthalmology clinic & surgeryA full electronic medical record for ophthalmology: patient charts, imaging and clinical findings, surgical workflow, and an appointment system that holds the whole clinic together. Bilingual interface, built from the exam room outward.

Intravitreal injection plannerThe planner behind an injection service: dosing intervals, unit capacity and patient recall on one board, so a busy retinal therapy unit knows who is due, when, and whether there is a slot for them.

Weighted differential diagnosisA step-wise diagnostic instrument for one of ophthalmology's hardest problems. Answer on symptoms, clinical signs and imaging; it returns a weighted differential rather than a single confident guess.

01Retina Squad Academy
Built by a retina specialist, for the retina communityTwenty-eight lectures across five tracks — foundations, imaging mastery, medical retina, advanced topics and AI in ophthalmology — alongside animated illustrations of disease mechanism and clinical calculators for treatment protocols, acuity conversion and injection planning. MCQ banks, spaced-repetition decks and real case files are in build.

Build a tier listEnterprise systems
07Built for institutions rather than individuals: systems carrying a national hospital network's quality data, its complaints, its inventory and its ideas. Internal by nature — listed here because they are the largest things the lab has shipped.
SAMA
Smart Advanced Measurements AnalysisOne dashboard aggregating quality indicators from every hospital in the network, kingdom-wide, in place of a reporting cycle that used to arrive by spreadsheet and arrive late.
ROLE Creator & architect SCOPE Network-wide
SAMA-AI
Forecasting & cross-institutional benchmarkingThe intelligence layer above SAMA: forecasting where an indicator is heading, flagging anomalies before they become incidents, and benchmarking large institutions against each other on like-for-like terms.
ROLE Creator LAYER Predictive analytics
Innovation Portal
Idea submission & structured gradingA route for an idea from a peripheral hospital to reach the centre. Staff submit proposals and a systematic grading scheme scores them at each tier, so good thinking is not lost to distance from headquarters.
ROLE Creator FLOW Peripheral → central
Complaints Management
Logging, routing & trackingEvery complaint given a record, an owner and a clock — routed, escalated and closed somewhere it can be counted, rather than settled informally and never learned from.
ROLE Creator TRACK Full lifecycle
Electronic Survey & Reporting
Patient satisfaction, network-wideRetired the paper patient-satisfaction survey across the network. Collection, sentiment scoring and reporting now run themselves, and the results are comparable between sites for the first time.
ROLE Creator REPLACED Paper forms
IOL Stock Management
Intraocular lens inventoryIntraocular lenses tracked by power and model across theatres, so the lens a surgeon planned the biometry around is on the shelf on the day of the list.
ROLE Creator DOMAIN Surgical inventory
Virtual Hospital
RMS telemedicine platformSole developer and architect. Secure patient data flows fitted to the hospital's existing workflow rather than bolted beside it, and an appointment surface the telemedicine officers can work at speed in.

03 — Research
Reading the body in the retina.
The clinical software pays for itself. The research is the part that outlasts it — international work on retinal foundation models, and a Jordanian group building on data the field keeps leaving out.
RETFound Global
Moorfields Eye Hospital · UCL · NUS · CUHK
The first medical AI foundation model built on genuinely global data. RETFound learned to detect retinal and systemic disease from fundus images and was published in Nature in 2023; the global effort now retrains it across more than 100 million colour fundus photographs contributed by partner groups in over 65 countries — so that retinal AI performs as well in Amman as it does in London.
- 100M+ fundus photographs
- 65+ countries
- Foundation model
Jordan A-Eye Research Group
Amman, Jordan · Oculomics
Jordan's contribution to that effort. The group builds and validates retinal AI on regional data — Middle Eastern populations that are systematically thin on the ground in the datasets these models train on — and works on oculomics: what an image of the retina can say about the rest of the body.
- Regional datasets
- Retinal imaging AI
- Systemic biomarkers
Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
Royal Medical Services · The Fred Hollows Foundation
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults, and it is silent until it is late. Establishing a dedicated screening clinic at the Royal Medical Services, with the Fred Hollows Foundation, to find it in the years when it can still be treated — the clinical end of everything the research is for.
- Population screening
- International partnership
- Preventable blindness
Oculomics
ˌɒk.jʊˈlɒm.ɪks · noun
The retina is the only place in the body where blood vessels and central nervous tissue can be seen directly, without a single incision. Oculomics is the discipline of reading the rest of the body from that view — cardiovascular risk, diabetic damage, kidney function, the earliest signs of neurodegeneration — all of it leaving traces on a photograph that takes seconds to capture and costs almost nothing.
04 — The lab
One desk, two disciplines.
Meteorosis Labs is not a team. It is a retina consultant who kept noticing that the software in front of him was written by people who had never sat in the chair.
Every product here started as a problem in a real clinic — a list that would not sort, a differential too wide to hold in your head, a unit that kept double-booking injections.
It has run on two tracks at the Royal Medical Services for years. One is clinical: retina fellow, senior specialist, consultant, now head of the department, seeing the cases that get referred when nobody else is sure. The other is quieter — the telemedicine platform, the quality dashboard now reporting from hospitals across the kingdom, the portal that carries an idea from a district hospital all the way to the centre. Same person, same week.
The advantage of building your own tools is that the specification never gets lost in translation: the person writing the scheduling logic is the person who will be running late because of it. That is why OptiVision reads like an exam room rather than a database, why the Uveitis Classifier returns a weighted list instead of a verdict, and why every app ships in Arabic and English from the first release rather than the third.
The same instinct runs outside medicine. A Quran circle that needed to be shared without an account. A pregnancy guide that deserved to be written in Arabic, not translated into it. A guessing game that had no business being as well-engineered as it is.
The research runs on the same current. A foundation model trained on a hundred million retinas is only as good as the populations inside it — which is why the Jordan group exists, and why the data it contributes comes out of the same clinics the EMR was written for.
The lab was known as Gr8iDoc for years and still lives at idoc.site. The name changed; the workbench did not.
