Problem
Current methods of assessing eye movements and pupillary function rely on manual techniques, leading to subjective and qualitative results. The scarcity of neuro-ophthalmologists and the time-consuming nature of these examinations contribute to diagnostic errors and delayed or inaccessible care for patients with neurological and ophthalmic diseases.
Solution
machineMD offers neos™, a non-invasive medical device that automates and standardizes the assessment of eye movements, pupillary function, and visual fields. The device utilizes a head-mounted system with infrared eye tracking to quantitatively measure and record oculometric data. This technology enables medical assistants and technicians to perform comprehensive neuro-ophthalmic examinations, reducing the reliance on specialists and improving clinical efficiency. The cloud-based platform allows for secure data processing and easy access to downloadable reports, facilitating early diagnosis, longitudinal monitoring, and telemedicine applications.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes neuro-ophthalmologists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, and emergency medicine physicians seeking to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of neuro-ophthalmic assessments.
