PhotoniCare
Series B in 2024
PhotoniCare, Inc. is a medical device company based in Champaign, Illinois, founded in 2013. The company specializes in developing innovative diagnostic tools for middle ear infections, notably the TOMi Scope. This handheld device employs advanced light-based technology, specifically near-infrared light waves, to create 3D images of the middle ear by seeing through the eardrum. This capability allows physicians to visualize the middle ear directly and safely, enabling them to assess its condition quickly and accurately. By determining the contents of the middle ear, clinicians can make informed decisions regarding the need for antibiotics or surgical interventions. PhotoniCare's technology not only addresses otology but also presents potential for growth in other medical fields.
