OcuSound empowers patients by enabling at-home IOP measurements with an intuitive, non-contact acoustic device.
About us
Glaucoma, a persistent eye condition impacting 80 million individuals globally, manifests through heightened intraocular pressure (IOP), which detrimentally affects the optic nerve and can lead to complete blindness if unaddressed. Despite tonometry serving as the conventional method for IOP measurement, existing approaches necessitate anesthesia, depend on specialized administration, and overlook daily pressure variations. OcuSound revolutionizes patient care by facilitating convenient at-home IOP monitoring through an intuitive, non-invasive acoustic device.

An estimated 80 million people around the world suffer from glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, especially in low- and middle-income countries where many patients have difficulty accessing professional eye care. The OcuSound design team is working on a device that could be a game-changer for those with limited access to glaucoma care. OcuSound is an affordable, easy to use device that measures pressure in the eye by combining sound wave technology and the acoustic properties of the eye. The device aims to help patients monitor glaucoma symptoms at home. Come see it in action at #DesignDay24 on May 1! https://lnkd.in/egsczEZQ Team Members: Valerie Wong, Benjamin Miller, Hyun Seo (Emily) Lee, Ashish Nalla, Maria Giannakopoulos, Elliott Leow, Shuyi (Nancy) Yan, and Ivan-Alexander Kroumov. #biomedicalengineering #glaucoma #blindness Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering
