PulseMedica is laser-focused on tackling vitreoretinal diseases
The PulseMedica platform is a 3D image-guided therapy device that integrates powerful laser therapy, advanced medical imaging, and limitless machine learning (ML) for precision imaging and treatment of vitreoretinal disease. Vitreoretinal diseases exist within the clear gel (vitreous fluid) that fills the eye and retina at the back of the eye. PulseMedica’s device strives to automate the imaging and treatment process, enabling quick and precise disease targeting, thereby reducing the treatment time and reducing the risk of side effects and total time per patient, allowing for more patients to be treated each day.
