Espansione Group Announces Partnership with Reykjavik University

 

Bologna, Italy / Reykjavik, Iceland — November 30th 2022

Espansione Group, the leading medical device company offering screening and treatment solutions for ocular conditions, and Reykjavik University (Iceland) are thrilled to announce the signing of a partnership between the univeristy’s Heilbrigdistaeknisetur (Institute of Biomedical and Neural Engineering) from Reykjavik University, Iceland.

We take the chance of this announcement to thank the Head of the Institute, Professor Paolo Gargiulo, for participating in this scientific cooperation. We also thank Dr. Sònia Travé Huarte, optometrist and researcher specializing in dry eye diagnostic and treatments, anterior ocular surface disease management, specialty contact lenses, and Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), to be part of the project as specialist in the field.

The main objectives of the collaboration are the following:

  1. To optimize the evaluation parameters on Meibomian glands using the me-check® solution
  2. To use Artificial Intelligence (AI) models on Meibomian gland imaging
  3. To study and validate short and long-term effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment on signs and symptoms using my-mask®

The institute will recruit 100 individuals and will assess the status of the Meibomian glands on the lower lid, and will monitor the subject for four weeks of treatment.

As far as both parties are aware at the time of publishing, the study will evaluate for the first time in scientific literature the immediate effect of a Light Modulation® Low-level Light Therapy (LM® LLLT) treatment.
