Software Engineering Intern – Research Triangle Park, NC
PhotoniCare, Inc. (www.photoni.care) is a medical device manufacturer located in Durham, NC. We believe better decisions in patient care need to be made at the front lines of medicine, prior to specialty care, so we can improve outcomes and reduce downstream healthcare costs. As a result, we’ve developed a low-cost handheld imaging platform that uses light to see through tissue. Our first product on this platform is empowering front-line providers to make better decisions about middle ear infections, the leading cause of hearing loss, antibiotic use, and surgeries in children.
PhotoniCare has developed the OtoSight Middle Ear Scope™, a handheld imager designed to look and handle like the familiar otoscope. The OtoSight provides unprecedented non-invasive views of the middle ear in real-time using our patented imaging platform technology. Alongside a real-time, high quality otoscopy image, OtoSight provides a view through the eardrum to directly visualize the contents in the middle ear.
