OCT Anywhere

OCT Anywhere

We are a startup company founded in March 2018. Our name comes from the greek ‘philos,’ meaning love, and ‘phos,’ meaning light, we pursue commercialization of various innovative portable low cost OCT technologies.

 

Currently, we are working on innovative low cost and portable optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices. Like Tesla making EVs out of a totally new design, we began from development of core components, such as spectrometer and light source driver, and then, we made a non-medical OCT system, which is mobile and wireless for the first time, to the best of our knowledge.

 

Recently, we are developing portable low cost OCT based retina imaging technology. These devices are cost-effective and compact, which will allow more patients to benefit from this technology through point-of-care diagnostics and tele-ophthalmology.
