Medisim Ltd. Selects Kopin’s Binocular Microdisplay Module for its BinoVision™ Head-Mounted Goggles

August 31, 2020 07:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kopin® Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN), a leading developer and provider of transmissive and reflective active matrix liquid crystal and organic light emitting diode (OLED) microdisplays and display subassemblies for military, enterprise, industrial, consumer and medical products, today announced that its BDM® WVGA LCD module and A912 Driver IC have been chosen by Medisim Ltd. for its BinoVision™ goggles.

“We are delighted that Medisim Ltd. has selected our products for its BinoVision™ goggles, and want to congratulate them on their success”

“Kopin’s knowledge of microdisplays and optical modules was very apparent to us during our process of selecting a near-to-eye LCD,” said Ilan Vadai, CEO, Medisim Ltd. “Kopin’s WVGA module and A912 ASIC were key components necessary to bring BinoVision™ to fruition. Kopin’s displays provide a high level of brightness – a key requirement for our application. In addition, with the displays and optics precisely aligned and securely packaged in a binocular module, the ease of integration was unmatched.”Medisim Ltd., based in Israel, developed the novel and patented product – BinoVision™, aiming to treat Amblyopia (Lazy Eye). The binocular head-mounted video goggle connects to most streaming video sources (computer, TV, game console, etc.) and uses the content (movies, cartoons, games, music videos, TV shows) to enable brain stimulation. BinoVision™ is content agnostic, so compliance is high. A published clinical study results of the technology showed that dichoptic stimulation of the visual system can significantly improve visual function in just 4 weeks. A feasibility study at Indiana University suggested BinoVision™ goggles, with some modifications, may also be used in the future for glaucoma. In a published study, the technology demonstrated increasing ocular blood flow and retinal perfusion both in glaucoma patients and healthy subjects.

“We are delighted that Medisim Ltd. has selected our products for its BinoVision™ goggles, and want to congratulate them on their success,” said Greg Truman, Head of Industrial and Enterprise Displays, Kopin. “We are excited by the increased interest in our microdisplays for medical products and believe a variety of applications such as surgical, procedural, ophthalmic and others can benefit from the integration of our near-to-eye microdisplays.”

Headquartered in Westborough, Massachusetts, Kopin and its subsidiaries offer a variety of industry leading microdisplay product lines, including LCD, OLED and FLCoS displays. Kopin’s BDM-WVGA (LCD) delivers a large (42″-diagonal size viewed at 6.5-foot distance), crisp image. The lightweight (16g), compact binocular display module integrates two 16: 9 widescreen CyberDisplay® WVGA LVD (854×480 resolution) color filter displays, LED backlights and a pair of pre-aligned high-quality lenses (30 degree field of view) into plastic housing. The BDM-WVGA is driven by Kopin’s A912 controller IC. The BDM-WVGA is a drop in solution, meant to speed up eyewear development and enable OEMs to design-in products quickly and efficiently.

MEDISIM’S CONTINUOUS & NON-INVASIVE CORE TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT AVAILABLE FOR MONITORING AWAKE AND ANESTHETIZED PATIENTS

  • Medical practitioners are aware of the importance of continuously monitoring core body temperature and its key role in determining patients’ outcomes; however due to challenges with traditional methods, its implementation was severely limited.
  • Temple Touch ProTM (TTPTM) is a non-invasive thermometry system, which measures core temperature continuously transmitting real-time data to any the patient monitor. The system is clinically proven accurate and reliable compared to gold standard invasive probes, and is FDA, CE, and PMDA approved.
  • Medisim is seeking partnerships with leading distributors to accelerate access to its technology.

For core temperature measurement, hospitals traditionally used various disposable/reusable invasive probes (such as Swan- Ganz pulmonary, esophageal, urinary and rectal), which may be prone to infections, and in many cases not used due to being troublesome to apply; inaccurate; uncomfortable for the patient; prohibitively expensive; non-continuous; or only applicable to fully anesthetized patients.

TTP™ eliminates the need for invasive temperature probes and offers hospitals a reliable and convenient solution, which is safe and affordable.

It is especially crucial in clinical settings such as in the Operating Room, Post-Anesthesia Care Unit and Intensive Care Units, and any other medical department where there is a necessity to continuously monitor core body temperature.

Non-Invasive core temperature monitoring for early detection of Sepsis

Sepsis is a leading cause of death and hospital re-admission and a major challenge in the Intensive Care Unit. Early sepsis detection is key – each hour of delay in diagnosis and treatment increases the risk for mortality. Existing sepsis diagnosis is lengthy and would benefit from continuous temperature measurements and data analysis tool.

TTP™ is currently being evaluated in a clinical trial “Non-Invasive core temperature monitoring as a measure for early detection of fever related infections”, conducted at Hadassah Ein Kerem University Medical Center by The Research Fund of Hadassah Medical Organization and under the supervision of Prof Vernon Van Heerden,  Head of Critical Care Medicine Unit, as the principal investigator of this clinical trial, and Dr. Magde AL-Barade, from Hadassah Ein Kerem University Medical Center. The study is in line with a predicate study in Boston “Body temperature patterns as a predictor of sepsis in ICU  patients”, by Anne M Drewry, Brian M Fuller, Thomas C Bailey, Richard S Hotchkiss, 2013, Critical Care, which showed that abnormal body temperature curves and patterns were predictive of the diagnosis of sepsis in afebrile critically ill patients. Analysis of temperature patterns, rather than absolute values, may facilitate decreased time to antimicrobial therapy.
