Problem
Traditional tabletop optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems require patient cooperation and are difficult to use with neonates, infants, children, and other individuals who cannot sit still or follow instructions. This limits access to essential eye diagnostics and treatment monitoring for these underserved populations.
Solution
Theia Imaging develops easy-to-use, compact, and portable OCT imaging systems designed for use with patients who are unable to cooperate with conventional tabletop systems. The company's proprietary swept source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) technology enables access to structural and angiographic images of the retina in previously unreachable populations. The devices provide non-invasive access to neurological information, as the microanatomy and microvascular flow within the eye can provide valuable information about brain development and brain disease.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes ophthalmologists, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers who work with neonates, infants, children, and individuals unable to use traditional ophthalmic imaging equipment.
Features
- Compact and portable design for use in various clinical settings.
- Swept source OCT (SSOCT) technology for high-resolution retinal imaging.
- Enables structural and angiographic imaging of the retina.
- Provides non-invasive access to neurological information through retinal and optic nerve imaging.
- Standard and widefield retina lens options.
