Benefits of technology
The invention is a method to use electrical signals, called bio-electric microcurrent, to treat diseases like macular degeneration and others by stimulating specific body parts like the eye. The technology ensures that the electrical current is delivered safely and effectively at the right level, while keeping the patient's needs and impedance in mind. By placing the device on the eye lids, it automatically adjusts the stimulation to the prescribed level. Overall, this invention offers a promising solution to deliver optimal therapy for eye diseases.
Problems solved by technology
Chronic pain is a problem for millions of individuals throughout the world.
Macular degeneration results in the deterioration of various retinal tissues in the region of the macula, the central, most sensitive light-sensing area of the retina responsible for detailed central vision.
Because there is currently no approved treatment for dry AMD, little research has been done on the market potential.
There is, however, significant data on the large numbers of people affected by AMD and is estimated to cause about 8.7% of blindness and low vision globally.
Once affected by poor circulation, the RPE cannot efficiently assist the rods and cones in removing the metabolic and photochemical response by-products, which are common during cellular function.
As a result, the photoreceptor cells in the macula enter a dormant, toxic state and do not respond to light.
If normal retinal cellular metabolism is not restored, the cells die and visual acuity is permanently lost.
But, the efficacy of these therapies can be affected by the manual techniques medical professionals use to administer said therapy.
Where patients have significant skin impedance, or there is a poor conductivity, uptake of the stimulation level is limited and will limit the treatment efficacy.
