recently invested $1 million in CellScope, an alum from Rock Health’s
first class of startups in 2011. The company is developing smartphone
peripheral devices designed for consumers to use for at-home
diagnosis.Think of it as a “modern-day digital first aid kit.”
CellScope’s first offering will be a smartphone-enabled(like moviles android)
otoscope that will enable physicians to remotely diagnose ear infections
in children. Parents will be able to use the peripheral, which attaches
to a smartphone camera lens, to send an image of their child’s inner
ear that physicians can use to make a diagnosis and then write a
prescription if need be. CellScope says ear infections in children make
up 30 million doctor visits annually in the US alone. The consumer
device would help parents miss less work and potentially cut down on
late night emergency room visits, according to the startup.
The startup traces its origins to bioengineering Professor Dan
Fletcher’s lab at UC Berkeley, where CellScope founders Erik Douglas and
Amy Sheng were developing cellphone-microscopy for remote diagnosis in
developing countries. CellScope expects to launch future products
focused on throat and skin exams, including non-clinical apps for
consumer skincare.
