OF GLAUCOMA CARE

Implandata is a Med-Tech start-up entrepreneur with the groundbreaking mission to improve the life of millions of Glaucoma patients. The team behind this initiative is focusing on upgrading the management of the disease and patient care into the digital age.

Glaucoma is a progressive, chronic and incurable eye disease. Asymptomatic, elevated intraocular pressure causes the patient to lose their eyesight, potentially resulting in total blindness. Millions of patients suffer from the disease, despite there being a wealth of treatment options to lower eye pressure.

“No matter how revolutionary the treatment, we’ll remain limited by the logistics and costs of actually testing eye pressure,” explained Max Ostermeier, Co-founder and Managing Director at Implandata Ophthalmic Products. “The required tests occur three, maybe four times a year. In between office visits, neither the patient nor the specialist know if the treatment is successful, leading to a lack of information on the progression of the disease, any required countermeasures, and further damage to the optic nerve.” www.3air.io

Introducing himself as both a veteran health care expert and entrepreneur, Max Ostermeier took home the Med-Tech World Pitch trophy last November at Malta Week, bringing his team that much closer to realising their full potential. He thoroughly explained the issues encountered by Glaucoma specialists and their patients and put forward EYEMATE, Implandata’s revolutionary self-monitoring system.

EYEMATE enables patients to self-monitor their disease, essentially nullifying the periods of uncertainty in between consultations and considerably improving therapy adherence. “More importantly,” Max continued “the system delivers critical disease information to doctors within real life conditions in realtime.” This enables the doctors to remotely monitor and manage their patients, allowing them to identify the most effective therapy early, titrate and escalate therapy before a patient’s vision deteriorates further.

In glaucoma treatment, circadian eye pressure variations and pressure spikes and peaks play a key role in order to understand if an applied therapy is effective or not. Patient response to a variety of eye drops varies, further muddying treatment. Furthermore, patient response evolves with time. At the same time, invasive procedures to improve the ocular outflow and lower eye pressure via ocular stents, shunts or valves have limited effectiveness, as tissue formation will sooner or later occlude these outflows, resulting in pressure elevating again.

While the average patient goes to the doctor’s office for only three to four eye tests a year, due to the aforementioned reasons, the EYEMATE system gathers typically between 3,000 to 4,000 eye pressure measurements in the same period. This data can be integrated in existing EMR solutions and adds significant value to other in-office glaucoma diagnostic tools like visual field testing and optical coherence tomography, dramatically expanding access to data points crucial to the patient’s treatment. None of this procedure requires the patient to be present at the office for the consultation.

In other words, the EYEMATE system ensures more efficient and effective therapies. It will improve disease management through automated, digital alerts with brief yet comprehensive information. This innovation comes at an opportune time, with healthcare systems already performing at their limits. The number of glaucoma patients will grow significantly in the coming decades, while the number of ophthalmologists is not bound to increase by much. More effective solutions, like self and home monitoring, are therefore key to efficiently manage the surge of patients, and at the same time improve the quality of patient care.

With software capable of recording patient data of this magnitude, security concerns are bound to rise. “Implandata is meeting all relevant regulatory standards in respect to safety of its products,” remarked Max. EYEMATE is CE marked under the new European Medical Device Regulation and it also has obtained FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. The product is similarly meeting the most stringent requirements under HIPAA and GDPR.

The product is extensively validated in bench testing as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies. Meanwhile, Implandata has up to ten years of in-vivo data, demonstrating the safety and performance of the EYEMATE system. Their product pipeline for next generation products includes a combined Dx/Rx system where a bionsensor provides continuous eye pressure measurements and actuates the therapeutic action of a tiny implantable drug delivery system. For patients, this would eliminate the burden of applying eye drops, while ensuring improved precision for practitioners.

Working closely with medical KOLs from the very beginning, Implandata collects and implements feedback from the medical community and industry experts alike. Implandata is working with leading eye centres in Europe and the USA, like University Eye Department Mainz/Germany, Swiss Visio Montchoisi Eye Clinic/ Lausanne and University Eye Department UCSD San Diego/ USA. The team is also working closely with the World Glaucoma Association.
