Philophos is a South Korean startup based in Daejeon, known for developing portable and low-cost Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) devices. Their product, the KUOS-O100, is a compact OCT device that weighs only 5 kilograms and is specifically designed for retinal imaging. This device integrates all necessary components, including a monitor, PC, headrest, and chinrest, into a single, easy-to-use package. The KUOS-O100 gained significant recognition by winning a Prism Award in the Biomedical category at the 2023 SPIE Photonics West event, highlighting its innovation in medical imaging technology.
Non-Medical OCT System:
Philophos has developed a non-medical Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system, which is particularly noted for its portability, mobility, and wireless capabilities. This system is designed for non-medical applications such as industrial inspection, material analysis, and other fields where high-resolution imaging is needed without the stringent requirements of medical-grade devices.
One of their notable products in this category is the KUOS-GW10, a portable OCT scanner primarily used for skin imaging but also applicable in non-destructive testing. This device leverages the company's advancements in core components like spectrometers and light source drivers, making it a versatile tool outside the medical field. Philophos continues to innovate in both medical and non-medical imaging technologies.
Also recently, we are developing portable low cost OCT based retina imaging technology. These devices are cost-effective and compact, which will allow more patients to benefit from this technology through point-of-care diagnostics and tele-ophthalmology.
