About IKOMED
At IKOMED, we are engaged in the research and development of several ground-breaking medical device technologies.
Our Aegis smart shutter system, which has been cleared as part of a commercial X-ray system by the FDA, incorporates machine vision, artificial intelligence, and a high-speed electro-mechanical system to reduce X-ray radiation in fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technology that is widely used to create real-time videos of internal organs, through X-ray radiation, to guide minimally invasive procedures where catheters or other devices are inserted into the body to diagnose and treat patients. While fluoroscopy-guided procedures reduce the need for surgery and help save lives, they expose medical staff to large amounts of X-ray radiation resulting in risks such as cataracts, cancer, etc.
We are also developing a device for non-invasive treatment of emphysema, a type of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), using RF radiation. Emphysema is a debilitating and progressive disease which is caused by smoking, environmental factors, or genetic factors. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Today, treatment is focussed on alleviating symptoms with no cure available. Our goal is to develop and bring to the market a non-invasive treatment method which will improve the lives of millions of patients around the world, increase their productivity, and reduce long-term healthcare costs.
Our small but growing team combines expertise in science, engineering, medical device development, business, and manufacturing. We believe in hiring talented motivated and self-driven people who are strong team players, giving them the direction and resources they need to succeed, and letting them make the right decisions for IKOMED. We also believe in having fun while working hard.
