Revolution in ophthalmology and optometry
The aim of the project is to increase the competitiveness of the Applicant’s company through the implementation and commercialisation of the results carried out on his behalf of R & D works. The project is divided into two tasks, including the purchase of equipment: DAT-Optor – diagnostic devices using DAT and microDAT technology to objectively study astigmatism and selected civilisation diseases and applications DAT App – for mobile devices. The tasks shall reflect project indicators: purchase of fixed assets 4pcs, intangible assets 1pieces The project is a continuation of the project titled. “Increasing the competitiveness of a company through the implementation of innovative DAT-testing services” carried out by the Applicant, which confirms the complementarity of both investments. The direct source of product innovation of the project was the development of µDAT technology (microDAT), i.e. a technology using a light pulse induced by a point source and energy-geometric transformation (energy distribution and image layout is different than in the present space) used in the diagnosis of selected civilisation diseases. The applicant has combined microDAT technology with DAT (Direct Astigmatic Test) technology to develop globally innovative DAT-Optor diagnostic devices. The result of the work was a specification of the dedicated DAT-App application, for identification of selected civilisation diseases, diagnosis of astigmatism based on original artifacts, resulting from research and development. The device can be used to diagnose disease conditions and to look for the causes of visual defects. It is recommended to equip users – the target group, i.e. ophthalmological and optical clinics with useful software for patient registration and measurement results, collecting statistical information about disease units detected by DAT-Optor methods and devices.
