➡️ How do we validate our medical device and our tests? This question is asked a lot, so we decided to explain it in two infographics. Since we transition to a Class IIa medical device under MDR each individual clinical parameter/biomarker measured in both healthy controls and patients include the following key statistical components: 1️⃣ Validiity 2️⃣ Reliability 3️⃣ Reproducibility 4️⃣ Stability ❗These components are important as we need to know how a biomarker can be used, which is crucial for regulatory approval and drives further clinical adoption. PhD candidates Bjørn André Helland-Hansen, Alexander Sverstad & Solveig Jacobsen Dalbro measured these values in healthy controls and patients with the following 👁️ & 🧠 diseases: 👁️ AMD, Glaucoma, Cataract & Diabetic Retinopathy 🧠 Parkinson's Disease & Ataxia 🔜 the PhD candidates will reveal their findings and publish their clinical validation data. So stay tuned! #eyetracking #neurology #ophthalmology #biomarkers #medicaldevice #research #glaucoma #AMD #cataract #diabeticretinopathy #parkinson #ataxia

👉 Are you visiting the 32nd Bárány Society Meeting in Uppsala? Don't miss this incredible opportunity to connect with us! 👨⚕️ Our CMO Bjørn André Helland-Hansen and CTO Hans-Peter Kurz will be at Booth #16 and are eager to discuss the latest innovations and insights in the field!

🗞 Exciting News! 🤝 Join us at the 31st Barany Society Meeting in Uppsala. We’re thrilled to share that we’ll be exhibiting at the 31st Barany Society Meeting in Uppsala, 🇸🇪, from 25th to 28th August! Our Chief Medical Officer, Bjørn André Helland-Hansen will be present to discuss how our cutting-edge eye-tracking solution and tests are advancing vestibular research and clinical diagnostics. 🧠 👁 👂 The Barany Society Meeting, the premier international event for clinicians and researchers focused on vestibular and oculomotor disorders, provides a unique knowledge exchange and collaboration platform. Our eye-tracking technology offers precise measurement and analysis of eye movements, playing a crucial role in diagnosing and treating these disorders. ☕ We invite you over to booth 16 for a conversation about how our tests contribute to advancements in vestibular function testing and oculomotor assessments.

In the UK today is **National Schizophrenia Awareness Day**, we highlight the importance of eye tracking as a diagnostic tool for schizophrenia. 🧠👁️ **Schizophrenia** affects approximately 1 in 100 people, yet stigma persists due to a lack of understanding. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't mean split personality; it's a complex condition affecting thinking, emotions, and perception. Symptoms include audio hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking¹. Now, let's delve into **eye tracking** and its role in diagnosis: 1. **Eye Tracking Technology**:   - Eye-tracking tools monitor eye movements during visual tasks. They're increasingly available in research and consumer markets.   - These devices help us understand how physicians interpret medical information and make diagnostic decisions.   - By studying eye movements, we gain insights into differences between novices and experts, biases, and misinterpretations⁴. 2. **Eye Tracking and Schizophrenia**:   - People with schizophrenia exhibit poor eye tracking compared to healthy individuals.   - Electroretinography (ERG) measures retinal responses to light and shows promise in identifying those at risk⁵.   - Researchers explore eye-tracking biomarkers to aid early diagnosis and track disease progression⁸. 3. **Clinical Implications**:   - Eye tracking can enhance medical education, training, and clinical practice.   - Understanding how experts interpret visual information helps improve diagnostic skills.   - Future applications may include automating error detection, classification, and training strategies for diagnosticians⁴. Remember, raising awareness about schizophrenia is crucial. Let's continue supporting those affected by this condition! 🌟🤝 Sources: (1) National Schizophrenia Awareness Day - Rethink Mental Illness. https://lnkd.in/gaEA7skn.

🧠 **Brain Health Day: July 22** The eyes are windows to the brain. On this Brain Health Day, let's delve into the fascinating world of eye tracking and its impact on diagnostics: 1. **Precision Insights**: Eye tracking provides precise data on gaze patterns, revealing subtle abnormalities or biomarkers that may signal neurological conditions. 2. **Early Detection**: Detecting eye movement irregularities early can lead to timely intervention for brain disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and MS. 3. **Objective Assessment**: Unlike subjective questionnaires, eye tracking offers an objective assessment, aiding accurate diagnoses. 4. **Telemedicine Advancements**: Eye tracking is a valuable tool for telemedicine, enabling remote monitoring of patients' brain health. Let's keep our focus sharp—both on the retina and the brain! 🌟 #BrainHealthDay #EyeTracking #NeuroOphthalmology #Biomarkers --- Feel free to share this post with your colleagues and spread awareness! 🌐👁️🗨️

🧠 **Brain Health Day: July 22** At Bulbitech, we believe that a healthy mind is essential for overall well-being. Join us in celebrating Brain Health Day on Tuesday, July 22nd! 🌟 🔍 **Why Brain Health Matters**: Our brains power everything we do—thinking, feeling, and connecting with others. Let's prioritize brain health by: 1. **Staying Active**: Regular exercise boosts brain function and reduces the risk of cognitive decline. 2. **Eating Well**: Nutrient-rich foods support brain health. Think leafy greens, berries, and omega-3 fatty acids. 3. **Getting Quality Sleep**: Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and mental clarity. 4. **Challenging Your Mind**: Engage in puzzles, learning, and creative activities. 🌐 **Spread the Word**: Share this post to raise awareness about the importance of brain health. Let's empower each other to make informed choices for our minds! 💙 #BrainHealthDay #MindMatters #Bulbitech #Biomarkers --- Feel free to customize and share this post with your network! 🌐👥

Oculomotor assessment is an essential part of a neurological clinical examination for patients with movement disorders. Neurodegenerative disorders often exhibit abnormal eye movements, which can provide key information to help differentiate diagnosis. https://loom.ly/v0i_9Kc #eyemovements #neurology #eyetracking #parkinson #movementdisorders

Did you know neurologists see many Nystagmus patients? At European Academy of Neurology we are showcasing our Nystagmus test. The test takes only 50 seconds with an instant graph displayed to qualify the type of Nystagmus. If you like to know more, you’re welome to visit our booth on Day 3 of #EAN2024, booth S04. #nystagmus #neurology #eyetracking

🧠 Over 50 neurologists visited our booth yesterday to learn how eye movement biomarkers and pupil data can be utilized in daily clinical practice. Atsuko Ikeda Steinnes & Dennis Hens are still present at European Academy of Neurology 2024 today & tomorrow to inform you about biomarkers in patients with Parkinson’s & Ataxia. Visit them at our booth S04. #neurology #ean2024 #parkinson #ataxia #eyetracking
