New Technologies to Improve Outcomes From Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
The brain is complex. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has come to be known as “The Silent Epidemic”. The annual incidence of TBI is greater than Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, HIV/AIDS and Breast Cancer combined. TBI is the single largest healthcare cost in the modern world. In the US, the cost is approximately $76.5 Billion per year and growing. Trying to measure how a brain functions is very difficult, requiring guesswork and interpretation of data. Alcohol, drugs, and pre-existing mental conditions can mimic the symptoms of a TBI when monitoring and interpreting brain function. The ArcheOptix technologies measure and image structures to determine the severity of TBI – structures that should NOT be present in a normal, healthy brain. These structural abnormalities are either present or they are not. When they are present, the NIRD® series of devices will see them. Learn more about our NIRD™ BRAIN SCANNING TECHNOLOGY
ArcheOptix NIRD® devices are Health Canada approved.
CT Scans vs. Our NIRD® System
The NIRD® is a handheld portable imaging device, utilizing Near infrared technology with proprietary algorithms. Offers an instant brain image, anywhere.
Improved Patient Outcomes
Enhanced screening during TBI diagnosis at the point of Injury in remote settings
Monitoring at bedside
No radiation exposure
Provides a tool to frontline healthcare workers to more accurately assess the severity of head injury and determine required course of action
Reducing Inefficiencies in Health Care
- ~80% of CT scans determine that patient has no brain bleed
- Confirmation and prioritizing of first response
- Prioritizing the CT run-time and scheduling
- Reduction in unnecessary patient transport
- Potential for CT cost avoidance
- Free up healthcare resources that would typically be expended by transporting and assessing patients with CT scanners
Key Advantages
- No radiology expertise needed to interpret images in order to identify bleeds at the site of injury.
- CT Scan can be reserved for those who need it
