Enabling visual endoscopic examination of all body orifices (Ear, Nose, Throat, Oral Cavity, Rectum, Vagina) through a single wireless pocket endoscopy system that connects with an Android & iOS phone
Current Status
Our ENT version of Device HIIIH -Tex (Pronounced as Hi Tex) is an improvement (better safety, medically regulated and higher quality) from existing low cost Chinese ear cleaning devices. We have sold over 200 units and have approx 1000 units in stock ready for sales over the next quarter. We have conceptualized a superior version of this device which will enable endoscopy for the Nasopharynx, Throat and other body orifices. We seek funds for the R&D, Manufacturing and Commercialization of this superior version of the device.
Problem or Opportunity
1 in 8 Indians have Sinusitis & related URTI, 11% of our population have chronic ear diseases and every human being on this planet has had an Ear, Nose Throat issue atleast once in their life.
In India for 1.4Billion people there are 16K ENT specialists and approx. 50,000 private hospitals and 40,000 public hospitals.
Access to assessment and treatment for the majority of patients is limited in a timely manner.
Solution (product or service)
After COVID there is widespread acceptance of telemedicine to see patients online and address this huge gap in access in addition to providing convenience from home and reduced exposure to other infections at hospitals.
We have developed a portable wireless pocket ENT endoscopy device that can wirelessly connect to the Doctor's phone for portable endoscopy and capturing/recording of images
