Commercialisation • Geography - 75% west coast USA • Reference site e.g. GE Healthcare • Connections & networks • Technical people to technical people • Resources - develop or market
Target markets High value markets in both biological and material areas: • Medical Ophthalmology, pathology and academic research
• Bio-pharmaceutical Automated cell analysis, assay and targeting
• Nanotechnology Electron microscopy, X-ray imaging, semi-conductor quality assurance
• Defence CTD contract
Market focus • Platform technology with many applications • One area of focus - niche high return • Looking for best risk reward ratio • Ophthalmology • Existing technical knowledge • Known growth market
Ophthalmology • Growth market - especially with aging populations • Wave front sensing is the “must have” technology • QPI will provide ophthalmologists with better measurement & software tool for early detection of eye diseases and general eye health • Current target 4 to 5 products
Ophthalmology THEM
Shack Hartman
US
Auto-refractor •
Measures quality (power) of eye’s vision for eyeware.
•
QPI gives megapixel resolution • Measure more subtle aberrations in eyes • Better diagnosis & better prescriptions
•
Infra-red LED light so no OHS issues
Progress
Defence and homeland security • Changing military requirements brings need for new technologies to: • negate camouflage • allow for passive, undetectable surveillance and target ranging • DSTO CTD contract - three years & up to $2.7 mill. • Developing QPI to enable imaging over greater distances • International interest from other key military organisations • Large markets but long development lead times
