This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), is providing $306,462 to Ifocus Imaging LLC to develop a software platform called OCT-ART-DR. The platform will automate the diagnosis and staging of diabetic retinopathy using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging and artificial intelligence. The key products to be delivered under this award include: 1) Improved AI-based segmentation of OCTA image...
The National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), awarded a $300,001 Project Grant to Kineolabs, Inc. in Billerica, MA. The objective of this 1-year grant, which runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, is to develop a portable, low-cost line-scan swept-source optical coherence tomography (LS-SS-OCT) imaging system. This system is intended for early detection and monitoring of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and other eye...
The National Eye Institute, under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), awarded a $745,607 Project Grant to Retivue LLC to develop the RETIVUE ENTIREEYE - a handheld, high-resolution, non-contact, widefield retinal screening camera for premature and healthy newborn babies. The funding will be used over 12 months to transform the current prototype into a production-ready device that can capture a single, high-quality image of the entire baby eye. This technology aims to improve...
This Project Grant award of $580,331 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) aims to develop a deep learning-based diagnostic tool for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of childhood blindness. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Optimizing and testing an animal-to-human (A2H) model to augment the training dataset for the deep learning-based ROP diagnostic model, using existing and newly acquired longitudinal animal ROP...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) will fund the development of a new wide-field visible-light optical coherence tomography (WF-VIS-OCT) device to evaluate the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model in rats. The $623,090 award, effective September 1, 2024, will support the Oregon Health & Science University in three main efforts: 1) developing the WF-VIS-OCT system with 5-mm transverse resolution over a...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $256,296 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to develop new "Auto-Sensing, Instantaneous Adaptive Ranging Optical Coherence Tomography (OCTA)" technology. This technology aims to expand the imaging depth range of OCTA systems, enabling improved visualization of the critical peripheral retinal microvasculature. The project will leverage advances in integrated...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $421,136 to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop advanced wavefront shaping techniques for improving optical imaging of the eye's posterior segment through ocular opacities. The research aims to demonstrate high-resolution fundus imaging behind cataracts, corneal opacities, and other vision-impairing conditions, which can currently limit access to...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), aims to develop a novel surgical technique using ultrafast, nonthermal laser microablation guided by optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and artificial intelligence. The $113,274 award to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center will fund research to characterize the effects of ultrafast laser ablation on ex vivo vitreous and retinal tissues, develop 3D...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) aims to develop an "Attentive Knowledge Device for Visual Assistance" that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technologies to better assist persons with visual impairment. The $602,198 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027, will fund the University of Southern California to: 1) engage partners to select optimal machine vision algorithms for real-time...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $193,168 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to Duke University to develop a novel, auto-aligning hand-held optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) probe for routine and repeatable high-quality retinal imaging in infants and children. The research aims to address the challenges associated with obtaining consistent OCT and OCTA data capture in uncooperative pediatric patients. The expected outcomes include a set of...
