C. Light Technologies, Inc.

When we talk about #AI in #healthcare, the focus should be on its enormous potential to generate revenue, not the cost of the tech. Our CTO, Joe Xing, was featured in an AlphaSense expert call about profitable business opportunities in AI for healthcare — and how we can expect to overcome barriers toward adopting it. What are some of those barriers? ➡️ Typically, the healthcare industry is slow to adapt to new tech 📈 Long FDA approval processes 🚨 The high risk of data breaches But AI poses significant benefits to providers, companies, and patients, and the FDA is working hard to adapt to the speed of technology and the opportunities it could provide. Congrats on the feature, Joe! (Full expert perspective available for AlphaSense members) #optometry #startups

“With C. Light Technologies’ novel technology, we've unlocked the potential of one of the smallest motor movements in the human body, offering invaluable data that will drive the future of clinical care.” - Christy K. Sheehy-Bensinger, PhD (our founder!) Thanks to Retinal Physician for featuring our Retitrack! 🔬 The Retritrack is a tabletop eye movement monitor that measures and analyzes fixational eye motion 👀 Optometrists can use it to assess oculomotor function and receive greater insights and data into patient health (and it can be used without the need for dilating eyes!) 🤓 “Using both the structural and functional information of the eye creates a more comprehensive picture of patient health” - Christy ✅ It’s all part of our bigger mission to improve patient outcomes through the power of the eye-brain connection Read the feature (and dive deeper into the Retitrack) here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gNX5mk_C

Light in 2021 and led our bridge round in 2023 — we’re so grateful for the partnerships that support us in our mission to revolutionize healthcare. 🔬Our Retitrack product is the world’s first retinal eye movement monitor cleared for clinical use, and developing it is part of our overarching company mission to aid healthcare providers through science-based, targeted care at the earliest stages for improved patient outcomes.

Meet Emily(xq) C.), a machine learning engineer at C. Light. When Emily’s not lending her innovation and passion to our work, she’s pursuing a Master’s degree in data science at University of California, Berkeley — we know. We’re impressed, too! "At C. Light, it's inspiring to collaborate with top-notch doctors and professors on research focused on best practices. Our data sources are diverse, allowing us to make meaningful and impactful contributions every day.” - Emily Emily also… 🌶️ Loves spicy foods 🎤 Represented C. Light as an industry panelist at Neurotech@Berkeley to talk about our AI-driven pipeline 📚 Started her career as as an Educational Technology Specialist at a private school in San Francisco, where she used tech to enhance lives — in this case, the learning and teaching experiences of both students and teachers. Sense a theme with her work? We’re thrilled to have Emily as part of our team, advancing our mission of using #technology to assess eye and brain health and the future of healthcare. 🤓 #healthcarestartups #neurology #optometry
