This milestone marks the first step towards establishing physician and patient reimbursement for our home OCT pipeline technology...We applaud the AMA’s CPT Editorial panel for establishing codes for billing remote diagnostic services and patient home monitoring services. We believe that a home-based OCT will be the future of monitoring patients with wet AMD, one that allows doctors to individualize their patients’ treatment.
We hope that this new lab between SNEC-SERI and NTU will be the start of an important programme to utilise engineering solutions to help and improve care of our patients with eye problems.
“At PhotoniCare we set out to solve the massive problem of frequent misdiagnosis of middle ear infections, and the overuse of antibiotics and referrals to surgery in children that result...We thank the FDA for clearing our TOMi Scope under a new product code unique to our technology, and look forward to bringing this innovation to doctors and patients very soon.”
The move to the new office space on Fox Drive has been exciting, to say the least...Part of the move includes a build out of a portion of the office space. So the #EnginEarGuys got to try our hand at interior design! Much of the design, however, was spearheaded by one of PhotoniCare’s engineers, Heather Howard. She helped the team navigate the moving process and make decisions on everything from our new manufacturing layout to the aesthetics – carpet, paint, and furniture!
By developing a new portable, low-cost version of OCT, we show that the success of this imaging approach will no longer be limited to ophthalmology applications.
We quantified the OCT parameters of Bruch's membrane opening height (the measurement of the anterior and posterior position of Bruch's membrane) and minimum rim width (the measurement of the neuroretinal thickness) with radial scans.
