Technology Introduction:
"Intelligent-Optical Bone Densitometer is the only device to measure bone density by safe light. It key challenges such as the difficulty of early osteoporosis diagnosis and high cost of current diagnostic methods. I-OBD are
1. Easy operation
2. Radiation-free
3. High reliability
It will replace quantitative ultrasound as the most useful technology for preliminary screening of osteoporosis.
Industry Applicability:
I-OBD has significant anticipated benefits in improving the diagnosis and treatment quality of osteoporosis and in reducing the risk of fractures. Preliminary screening can prevent fractures and reduce the burden on healthcare system.
1. Accessibility limitations: DXA all are costly.
2. Healthcare system limitations: Inadequate insurance coverage.
3. Aging population: Increasing the demand.
