UCL adapts quantum imaging to monitor children’s eye health at home

Researchers at the University College London (UCL) Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health are collaborating with Siloton to adapt a new eye imaging technology with the potential to monitor children with potentially blinding disorders in their homes or communities. The project centers around Siloton’s Akepa device, which compresses a tabletop’s worth of components onto a single chip smaller than a £1 coin. Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the adapted optical coherence tomography (OCT)…
