Our Roadmap

Found­ing of Visotec GmbH
Visotec GmbH is found­ed by Helge Sud­kamp, Peter Koch, Moritz Molt­mann, and Michael Münst.

Malte joins Visotec as a data sci­en­tist
Visotec is grow­ing! Malte joins the team as a data sci­en­tist. His tasks include the devel­op­ment of eval­u­a­tion algo­rithms for clin­i­cal data, image pro­cess­ing, and IT-Infra­struc­ture.

Visotec now owns the entire IP to pro­tect its tech­nol­o­gy
We pos­sess all six patent fam­i­lies pro­tect­ing the tech­nol­o­gy.

Visotec suc­cess­ful­ly fin­ish­es first clin­i­cal tri­al
We suc­cess­ful­ly fin­ish the first clin­i­cal tri­al. We reach a sen­si­tiv­i­ty and speci­fici­ty of 0.94 and 0.95 in com­par­i­son to the gold stan­dard regard­ing the deci­sion of whether or not Anti-VEGF treat­ment is nec­es­sary. Please check our white paper for a full sum­ma­ry of the study results.

Cur­rent engi­neer­ing unit, V6
Our newest engi­neer­ing unit con­tains our lat­est state-of-the-art tech­nol­o­gy and demon­strates its oper­a­tion prin­ci­ple.

Devel­op­ment of CE-marked, hand­held OCT device
We devel­op a CE-marked pilot prod­uct for the next gen­er­a­tion of clin­i­cal stud­ies. This pri­mar­i­ly includes the home care study, but also the devel­op­ment of treat­ment schemes with col­lab­o­rat­ing physi­cians.

Study: Acqui­si­tion of fol­low-up clin­i­cal data to reveal the full poten­tial of a home care OCT sys­tem
This study includes patients per­form­ing OCT scans on a dai­ly basis for the first time. The close mon­i­tor­ing enables us to visu­al­ize the pro­gres­sion of the dis­ease on a new lev­el.

As AI algo­rithms require a wide ground truth we are also able to use the acquired data to sharp­en the pre­ci­sion of our AI algo­rithms. This helps to detect bio­mark­ers of age-relat­ed mac­u­lar degen­er­a­tion in an ear­ly stage to pro­vide care­free treat­ment.

Study: OCT@Home demon­strat­ing inde­pen­dent oper­a­tion by the patient and improved sub­se­quent treat­ment
Based on the CE-marked hand­held device, this study involves patients using the device at home. The study shows that patients can use the device reli­ably and reg­u­lar­ly in their own homes. We are able to deter­mine the clin­i­cal val­ue from dai­ly fol­low-up OCT mea­sure­ments com­pared to stan­dard (month­ly) diag­nos­tics.

Devel­op­ment of scal­able con­sumer prod­uct
This step stream­lines the CE-marked device for effi­cient and scal­able pro­duc­tion.

Study: Val­i­dat­ing home-based OCT treat­ment schemes
This study val­i­dates home-based OCT treat­ment schemes.
