THE SURGICAL PARTNER PROGRAM INCLUDES KEY ADVOCACY COMPONENTS DESIGNED TO YIELD GREATER PUBLIC EDUCATION, STRONGER UNDERSTANDING OF CATARACT BLINDNESS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND TO GARNER THE SUPPORT OF INFLUENTIAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES. ADDITIONALLY, HELPMESEE LAUNCHED AN AGGRESSIVE MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO RAISE THE AWARENESS TOWARD THE TRAGEDY OF CATARACT BLINDNESS AND THE PHILOSOPHY AND SUBSEQUENT PROGRAMMATIC ACTIONS BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE ORGANIZATION. FUELED BY THE THEORY OF CROWD-SOURCED COMMUNICATIONS, HELPMESEE EMBARKS ON A TWENTY-YEAR JOURNEY TO ENGAGE GLOBAL CITIZENS IN THE FIGHT TO ELIMINATE CATARACT BLINDNESS.FURTHER TO THIS, HELPMESEE FORGED KEY PARTNERSHIPS WITH LEADING NON-PROFITS WITH SIMILAR PROGRAMMATIC ALIGNMENT TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN PUBLIC AWARENESS AND TO LEND CREDIBILITY IN EYE HEALTH CARE POLICY DIALOGUE. A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS SUCCESS IS HELPMESEE'S THREE-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH HELPAGE INDIA - THE COUNTRY'S LEADING HUMANITARIAN NON-PROFIT DEDICATED TO THE ELDERLY PEOPLE OF INDIA. THIS PARTNERSHIP STRENGTHENS THE ISSUE OF AVOIDABLE BLINDNESS IN A COUNTRY WHERE BLINDNESS IS MOST PREVALENT AND WHERE A MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S CITIZENS, BLINDED BY CATARACT, RESIDE. HELPMESEE CONTINUES TO WORK WITH, AND REACH OUT TO, LEADING HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS IN AFRICA AND ASIA IN ORDER TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND TO ALIGN PROGRAMMATICALLY WHEN POSSIBLE. 4203283 2877865 CATARACT SURGERIES:ELIMINATING CATARACT BLINDNESS THROUGH PROFICIENCY LEVEL TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION OF CATARACT SURGEONS IS THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN. WITH THIS, THE NUMBER OF SUCCESSFUL MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGERIES (MSICS) PERFORMED IS THE BASIC INDICATOR OF MISSION PROGRESS. IN THE REPORTING YEAR 2014 - THE ORGANIZATION'S 3RD YEAR OF MSICS OPERATIONS - HELPMESEE SUCCESSFULLY REACHED A TOTAL OF 192 SURGICAL PARTNERS WHO PERFORMED 76,637 CATARACT SURGERIES.WITH THE INCREASING NUMBER OF SURGICAL PARTNERS AND THE EXPANDING CAMPAIGN NETWORK IN GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS AND COUNTRIES, HELPMESEE HAS THE CAPACITY TO RAPIDLY SCALE UP THE CATARACT SURGICAL OUTREACH. THE HELPMESEE SURGICAL QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM IS CAPABLE OF MONITORING MILLIONS OF SURGERIES IN REAL TIME, MANAGE THE LOGISTICS OF THE PRE-STERILIZED SURGICAL KITS AND FACILITATE TIMELY PAYMENT PROCESSING TO OUR SURGICAL PARTNERS. HELPMESEE TRACKS AND REPORTS 100% OF SURGERIES PERFORMED AND REVIEWS SURGICAL QUALITY OUTCOME BY EACH SURGICAL PARTNER IN ORDER TO MONITOR SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND TO INSTILL BEST PRACTICES. HELPMESEE EXPECTS TO SUPPORT 150,000 SURGERIES IN 2015, BRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SURGERIES TO 330,000. 810554 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE:THE HELPMESEE BLINDNESS ELIMINATION STRATEGY IS BUILT AROUND THE TRAINING OF LOCAL SURGICAL PARTNERS, SUSTAINABILITY AND EMPOWERMENT. CRITICAL TO THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN IS THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF THE HELPMESEE MSICS TRAINING SIMULATOR WITH BUILT IN INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM AND COURSEWARE. THE FIRST TRAINING PROTOTYPES HAVE BEEN SHIPPED AND INITIAL TESTING & TRAINING WILL BEGIN IN JUNE 2015. IN 2014, HELPMESEE, ALONG WITH ITS SURGICAL SIMULATOR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, CONTINUED ENHANCING THE VISUAL AND TACTILE REALISM OF THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE SIMULATION - STEP BY STEP - AGAINST PHYSICS-BASED DATA TO SUPPORT CRITICAL SURGICAL ELEMENTS AND ALL SURGICAL PROCEDURE VARIABLES. THIS INCLUDED ANALYSIS OF IN VIVO FORCE MEASUREMENTS AND ONGOING STUDIES LEADING TO THE WORLD'S FIRST COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE OF LIVE HUMAN TISSUE FORCES, PHOTO REALISTIC ANATOMICAL REPLICATION OF THE OUTER AND INNER ASPECTS OF THE EYE AND THOROUGH EVALUATION BY EXPERT SURGEONS MEASURING THEIR SURGICAL RESPONSE TO THE SIMULATED EYE IN COMPARISON TO A LIVE HUMAN EYE. THIS SIMULATOR IS DESIGNED TO COVER EVERY POSSIBLE VARIABLE AND COMPLICATION THAT COULD OCCUR DURING LIVE SURGERY. THE 360-DEGREE TRAINING MODULE AND INSTRUCTIONAL COURSEWARE IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED WITH THE SURGICAL SIMULATOR'S VIRTUAL REALITY BASED MODEL OF THE HUMAN EYE AS THE CENTERPIECE. IN 2014, HELPMESEE COMPLETED COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTATION FOR MSICS TRAINING AND WILL BE TESTED AND VALIDATED DURING THE PILOT PROGRAM IN 2016. 5879169 HELPMESEE QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMS ARE DEVELOPED FOR PATIENT SAFETY AND BEST SURGICAL RESULTS. THE BROAD ELEMENTS OF QUALITY CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION COVER:1.QUALITY OF SURGICAL SIMULATION, EQUIVALENT TO THE LEVEL "D" IN AVIATION, WHICH PROVIDES VIRTUALLY INDISTINGUISHABLE VISUAL AND TACTILE EXPERIENCE TO THE REAL EYE. THIS ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR 'LIVE TISSUE' TRAINING THAT ENDANGERS PATIENTS AND SURGICAL OUTCOMES.2.OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF PROFICIENCY AND CURRENCY OF SKILLS OF HELPMESEE SURGEONS. THIS IS DONE THROUGH CONTINUOUS SURGICAL PERFORMANCE REVIEWS AND SPECIALIZED TRAINING.3.PRE-STERILIZED SINGLE USE SURGICAL KITS ALLOWING HIGH-QUALITY STANDARDIZATION THAT ARE AFFORDABLE AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGH A PREMEDITATED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. INCLUDING THE SURGICAL KIT, COSTS ARE PRESENTLY CALCULATED AT $50 FOR THE ENTIRE ADULT SURGICAL PROCESS. 4.PATIENT MANAGEMENT AND SURGICAL REPORTING SYSTEM, WHICH CAPTURES THE PRE, INTRA, AND POST- OPERATIVE RESULTS AND COMPLICATIONS OF EACH PATIENT AND SURGICAL PARTNER. 5879169 12956606 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X X MENGFANG MADGE BIAN 2122217605 20 WEST 36TH ST FLOOR 4 NEW YORK NY 100188005 JAMES TYLER UELTSCHI CHAIRMAN, TREASURER 20.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF MULLEN SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JACOB MOHAN THAZHATHU CEO & PRESIDENT 60.00 X X 431590 0 0 GLENN STRAUSS CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER 40.00 X 240500 0 0 VENKAT SAMBANDHAMOORTHY CHIEF OF PROGRAMS & FIELD 40.00 X 98000 0 0 VENUDHAR BHATT CHIEF LEARNING OFFICER 40.00 X 102000 0 0 JON POLLACK CHIEF OF TRAINING OPERATIONS 40.00 X 57943 0 0 MATTHEW KUPEC V.P.

X 5000000 610000 0 1 1 610000 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 HELPMESEE'S GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TO ELIMINATE CATARACT BLINDNESS IS BUILT ON THE IDEA THAT SIGHT MATTERS FOR THE LIFE AND SURVIVAL OF EVERY HUMAN BEING. UNTREATED CATARACTS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF BLINDNESS WORLDWIDE. GLOBALLY, OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE ARE UNNECESSARILY BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED DUE TO CATARACTS AND THESE NUMBERS ARE INCREASING AS THE WORLD POPULATION AGES AND GROWS. IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, BLINDNESS AND VISUAL IMPAIRMENT CAN HAVE AN ENORMOUS NEGATIVE IMPACT ON QUALITY OF LIFE AS WELL AS REDUCING LIFE EXPECTANCY AND ECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITY. NOT ONLY DOES AN INDIVIDUAL SUFFER FROM CATARACT BLINDNESS, THERE ARE ALSO SEVERE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC BURDENS PLACED ON THEIR FAMILIES, CARETAKERS AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY LIVE. ACCORDING TO A RECENTLY PUBLISHED RAND HEALTH STUDY, CATARACT BLINDNESS WILL INCREASE TO 32 MILLION BY 2020, NOT COUNTING VISUALLY IMPAIRED, AND COST THE WORLD'S GDP ABOUT $1 TRILLION EACH YEAR. THEY COULD GET THEIR SIGHT RESTORED THANKS TO A SURGERY THAT TAKES AS LITTLE AS 5 MINUTES FOR AN ADULT AND 15 MINUTES FOR A CHILD. MOST OF THEM THOUGH WILL NEVER RECEIVE THIS SURGERY AND REMAIN BLIND BECAUSE OF THE SEVERE SHORTAGE OF TRAINED PROFICIENT SURGEONS, THE UNAFFORDABLE COST OF SURGERY AND THE HIGH INCIDENCE IN REMOTE COMMUNITIES WITH NO ACCESS TO TREATMENT. THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN AIMS TO MAKE THIS ESSENTIAL SURGERY WITH HIGH QUALITY POSSIBLE FOR EVERY BLIND CHILD AND ADULT IN THE WORLD WHO NEEDS IT AT THE MOST AFFORDABLE PRICES, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY LIVE OR HOW POOR THEY MAY BE. THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN OPERATIONS AND NETWORK HAVE ACHIEVED QUALITY AND SCALE TO DELIVER VERY LOW-COST, HIGH-QUALITY MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGERIES (MSICS) TO MILLIONS OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. AS OF APRIL 2015, WORKING WITH 192 PRACTICING PARTNER MSIC SURGEONS IN CHINA, INDIA, NEPAL, SIERRA LEONE, TOGO AND VIET NAM. HELPMESEE HAS COMPLETED OVER 192,000 SIGHT RESTORING SURGERIES. NUMBER OF SURGERIES ARE EXPECTED TO SURPASS 330,000 BY THE END OF 2015. BUILDING ON THIS MOMENTUM OF SUCCESS, THE HELPMESEE CAMPAIGN WILL EXTEND TO 35 COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT AFRICA, ASIA, AND LATIN AMERICA, OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. IN 20 YEARS, HELPMESEE EXPECTS TO TRAIN 30,000 MSICS-DEDICATED SPECIALISTS TO DELIVER 60-70 MILLION SURGERIES REQUIRED TO PERMANENTLY ELIMINATE THE BACKLOG OF CATARACT BLINDNESS AMONG THE POOREST.
