C. Light Technologies

Right now there are 24 million people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. This number is projected to increase to 100 million by 2050. And the sad truth is, in terms of diagnostics, the field of neurology is decades behind other areas of medicine. There are no quick, non-invasive diagnostics for Alzheimer’s and many other neurological disorders including Parkinson’s, MS, ALS, and Schizophrenia. All of these diseases, exhibit abnormal eye movements. However, the only eye-movements clinicians are able to observe now are quite large, due to a lack of fine resolution available in current clinical tools. This makes any small changes completely invisible to clinicians. We at C. Light Technologies are working to fill in the diagnostic tool gap through the use of our precision eye tracker.

Improving Outcomes

Healthcare providers currently have very little information on what happens to their patients after they leave the hospital unless they get readmitted or have a complication. Any follow-up data that does exist is rarely collected in a systematic or meaningful way. We want to change that by closing the feedback loop, bringing this critical information back to the point-of-care so everyone can align around what ultimately matters - patient outcomes. Our platform enables healthcare providers to seamlessly collect information on the functional, symptomatic and quality-of-life outcomes of care using clinically validated patient-reported surveys. We use this data to help the care-team better manage patients, predict the outcomes of treatments and facilitate reporting of outcomes to payers and the public
