Problem
Traditional Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) systems are expensive, limiting access to this high-resolution imaging technology for many healthcare practitioners and industrial users. The high cost of these systems prevents widespread adoption, hindering early disease detection and quality control processes.
Solution
Lumedica develops and markets low-cost OCT systems, enabling broader access to high-resolution imaging for both healthcare and industrial applications. Their OQ LabScope series provides complete spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) imaging capabilities at a significantly lower price point than traditional systems. The OQ StrataScope offers deeper imaging capabilities using a 1310 nm light source, while the OQ LabScope utilizes an 840 nm light source. Lumedica also offers custom OCT engine integrations for OEM applications, providing compact, high-performance solutions.
Target Audience
Lumedica's primary customers include researchers, innovators, educators, and healthcare professionals seeking affordable OCT imaging solutions, as well as industrial users requiring quality control and material analysis tools.
