Technology
There exists a wealth of current scientific data that identifies the eye as a prominent indicatior for various hazards and/or diseases to which individuals may be exposed. EyeMarker Systems, Inc. is developing the ocular scanning instrument (OSI) based imaging technology capable of determining an individual's exposure status with respect to a variety of toxic agents. Since the eyes are directly connected to multiple physiological systems (central nervous, cardiovascular, lymphatic, etc.) in the body, they can be scanned for primary and secondary ocular effects of exposure. This technology can:
- Rapidly and non-invasively identify toxic agents and the extent of exposure by scanning for specific biomarkers in the eye.
- Quantify and analyze these biomarkers without the need for human expertise.
- Far exceed the through-put of other toxic exposure testing methods, allowing quicker triage and medical intervention for those in need.
- Be packaged into a portable, hand-held device that makes the OSI technology highly adaptive and mobile.
