MedevPlus makes a portable eye scanner for screening outside hospitals
MedevPlus has developed a portable optical coherence tomography device for retinal screening and is extending the same imaging technology to veterinary and industrial use.
MedevPlus, a Bengaluru-based medical device company, has developed a portable eye scanner called IXanner 7vn. The portable OCT device is designed for comprehensive eye screening outside of hospitals, allowing for retinal screening in rural areas where access to large, expensive machines is limited. The company was founded in 2018 by Dr Ravi Kiran Manapuram, a biomedical engineer with a doctorate from the University of Houston.
MedevPlus aims to improve early detection of diabetic retinal damage, glaucoma, and other eye conditions by bringing the screening process directly to the primary care level. The company has already conducted a retinal screening camp in Bengaluru in collaboration with a local trust and has filed a trademark for its TissueXanner product, which performs tissue analysis without invasive procedures.
