Artificial Intelligence to Predict Onset of Retinopathy of Prematurity

Unmet NeedAccording to the NIH, approximately 14,000 – 16,000 of prematurely born infants within the United States are affected by a form of retinopathy of prematurity (see NIH). Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), is due to incomplete retinal vascularization that has the potential to lead to visual impairment as the infant grows. Currently, there are...

Initial Proof-of-Concept of Photoacoustic Neural Stimulation; A Potential Approach to Retinal Stimulation: Preliminary In Vitro Study

Unmet NeedNon-cataract related vision loss affects 22.9 million people worldwide. Many of these patients retain partial functionality in their retinas; even though their outer retinas no longer function, visual stimulation can be achieved by sending messages from the inner retinas through the optic nerves. Present efforts to restore vision to these...
