This project adapts Siloton's quantum-enabled optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for pediatric use, addressing the limitations of current bulky hospital equipment by enabling remote home monitoring. The collaboration focuses on modifying the device's physical design and lenses to suit children, potentially reducing sight loss through earlier detection in community settings. This represents a tangible application of quantum-enhanced sensing technology in clinical diagnostics rather than a theoretical research breakthrough.
UCL and Siloton Adapt Quantum-Enabled Eye Imaging for Children

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Researchers at the University College London (UCL) Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health are teaming up with Bristol-based start-up Siloton on a project that could help prevent sight loss in children by adapting a groundbreaking new eye imaging technology. With funding from the National Institute for Health and Care […]
UCL researchers are partnering with Bristol-based Siloton to adapt its quantum-enabled OCT eye-imaging system for use by children with potentially sight-threatening conditions. The NIHR-funded project will modify Siloton’s compact Akepa device for paediatric use, including adjustments to its lenses and physical design. The project aims to support eye monitoring in community or home settings, potentially reducing hospital visits while enabling clinicians to assess children remotely. PRESS RELEASE — Researchers at the University College London (UCL) Great Ormond Street Institute of…
