The new partnership is designed to bring RadiusXR’s wearable ophthalmic screening solution to the global market.
Three ophthalmic companies, including global giants Glaukos Corporation (California, United States) and Topcon Healthcare (California, United States) have joined forces to bring RadiusXR’s (California, United States) wearable glaucoma screening to the mainstream.
On March 11, the three companies jointly announced a new collaboration and the launch of Inspire, a lightweight, wearable visual field testing platform developed by RadiusXR.1
This collaboration brings together RadiusXR’s vision testing technology, Topcon Healthcare’s expertise in digital diagnostics and Glaukos’ focus on expanding access to visual field exams for patients with glaucoma.
“By intelligently combining data from the new Inspire wearable vision testing platform with our robotic diagnostics on the Harmony digital health information platform, we are furthering our Healthcare from the Eye initiative with a truly dynamic digital healthcare ecosystem,” said Ali Tafreshi, CEO and president of Topcon.
