Sensimed AG

In the field of glaucoma, there are a lot of unknowns because it hasn't previously been feasible to continuously monitor intraocular pressure. Sensimed was formed to do just that. The young company is developing a sensor that would provide 24-hours worth of intraocular pressure data as an alternative to the point-by-point measurement systems available today. The company likens its device to the Holter monitor in cardiovascular disease-a device that can yield a comprehensive set of diagnostic data as a patient goes about his or her daily life.
