Modulated Imaging (dba Modulim) was recently highlighted by National Institute of Aging (NIA) as a showcase company. Modulim successfully completed a Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program with the National Institute of Aging (NIA) to conduct R&D and build a system that brings Spatial Frequency Domain Imaging (SFDI) to the point-of-care for chronic wound management. Many of these advances were incorporated into the FDA-cleared Clarifi® Imaging System.
An estimated 6.5M people in the US suffer from chronic wounds (i.e., diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers). The incidence of chronic wounds continues to increase due to an aging population and an increase in diabetes and obesity. Quantification and imaging of tissue oxygenation and perfusion is seen as a method to identity, manage, and possibly prevent chronic wounds. The Clarifi Imaging system was developed to measure oxygenation in patients with potential compromised circulation in a non-contact manner over large areas.
The NIA, one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of the National Institute of Health (NIH), leads a broad scientific effort to understand the nature of aging and to extend the healthy, active years of life. As an NIA showcase company, Modulim was selected to participate in the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge with other showcase companies at the January 2021 Redefining Early-Stage Investment (RESI) conference.
