VISIONAIR™

PacificMD has taken a first of its kind approach in using AI to determine airflow obstruction in real time via its proprietary software VISIONAIR™. The VISIONAIR™ software has been trained to recognize challenging anatomical regions enabling surgeons for improved diagnostics.

FDA CLEARED
GUIDENT™
When new procedures are introduced, at times there are questions from clinicians whether the treatment is delivered at the anatomical site. With complex anatomies many times also there is a need to guide the clinicians in order to reduce the time it takes them to reach these regions of the anatomy. GUIDENT™ reduces these challenges by integrating Augmented Reality (AR) with well thought Deep Learning algorithms that can guide the clinicians in real time to the targeted anatomy as well as provide continues feedback through the procedure.*
FLOWAIR™
“The FLOWAIR™ aims to measure the upper respiratory tract airflow from the endoscopic images taken in the region of the retropalatal, retroglossal and hypopharyngeal airways. The information is reviewed by clinicians to improve their understanding of the anatomical measurements on patients with sleep apnea.”
REAI™
The REAl™ platform seamlessly and securely integrates data generated during procedures with the cloud. Our cloud application adds value by meaningfully providing ongoing indicators and metrics to the clinicians and patients.
FDA CLEARED
ENtVISION™
Advanced digital endoscopic system with ergonomics designed specifically for the ENT surgeons with unparalleled image quality. The proprietary single use component, INTELLISHEATH™ , aims to make single use endoscopy a reality and affordable for everybody, without compromising image quality of the scope.*
