machineMD
Founded as a spin-off of the University Hospital of Bern, Inselspital - machineMD is developing a novel diagnostic device that enables complete standardized and automated neuro-ophthalmic examinations. Uniquely combining virtual reality and artificial intelligence, the device will measure biomarkers such as eye and pupil movements that can be used in the early diagnosis of brain diseases such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and brain tumors. It will allow doctors and optometrists to perform eight fully automated examinations within 10 minutes and provide quantitative, objective and reproducible measurements.
