Novartis Signs Collaboration Agreement to Fund Medtech Development of Low Cost Eye Monitor

Jan 22, 2019

Novartis has signed an agreement to collaborate with Compact Imaging – to fund the development of a low-cost home-based monitor to detect disease progression in advanced cases of eye diseases, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) .
If approved, goggles used at a patient's home could record a test result and upload it over the internet for a specialist to review, thereby potentially reducing clinical visits, saving doctors' and patients' time while delivering cost and efficiency savings to healthcare systems .
This collaboration demonstrates Novartis’s ongoing commitment to eye care and improving patient outcomes for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR).
