Technology Description

The technology is a medical device. It consists of an illumination module, a camera module, a software module, a PC interface and an infant interface module. The device enables digital imaging of the retina, in a simple to use, handheld format that can be easily used in rural areas by minimally skilled personnel.

Applications

This device can be used for screening pre-term babies in for a condition called Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), for screening adults for diabetic retinopathy in diabetic clinics, and finally for routine examination of the eye by ophthalmologists and ocular oncologists.

Benefits

• Fifty-fold lower cost than comparable technology available in the market.
  
• Uses a novel, infant interface, that minimizes the need for skilled personnel for using the instrument with pre-term babies (patent pending)
  
• It is the only compact, battery operated retinal imaging device, available in the Indian market, that enables the recording of images for use with medical record systems.
  
• Uses non-contact optics, with no compromise on the actual field of view - resulting in significantly less trauma for the eye.
