OptiMedica Corporation specializes in helping ophthalmologists treat retinal disease, and they have integrated graphical system design and commercial off-the-shelf technologies to develop their next-generation PASCAL photocoagulator machine. PASCAL uses LabVIEW FPGA and intelligent DAQ to reduce treatment time as well as patient discomfort. This is a video featuring a live demonstration by Mike Wiltberger, cofounder and principal engineer for OptiMedica, of the PASCAL photocoagulator from NIWeek 2006.
We were especially moved by Mike's closing comment in the video, which reminds us of the great impact engineering and science have on everyday life:
"I've been using LabVIEW and LabVIEW products for over 15 years and I've built a career, and even a company, on your products. I just want to thank National Instruments for helping change the world of ophthalmology."
- Michael Wiltberger, cofounder and principal engineer for OptiMedica
