BIE-PInCS
Brain Injury Evaluation through Pupillometry
based on INfrared Camera System
Seminar Room @DEIB
Politecnico di Milano
28th June 2017

2. First cause of death in industrialized countries
among young people: 2M cases per year,
globally speaking[1]; imposes considerable
costs for health systems.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Medical evaluation of pupillary reflex is affected
by subjectivity, non-repeatability, low
accuracy [2]

3. 3Solution
We propose an automated infrared
pupillometer for detection and evaluation of
TBI. Analysis is based on an integrated test
of pupillary light reflex and impaired eye
movement.
- Increase in evaluation precision
- Increase in cure quality

Technology
SoC
+
Reliability of measure is due to
high frequency acquisition
infrared camera.
Computation of big amount of data
is done in real time thanks to
hardware acceleration on FPGA
(Xilinx PYNQ-Z1 board)

5. Market and customers
Our customer segment includes:
The global brain monitoring market is growing. It is expected to
reach USD 12.22 Billion by 2021 from USD 8.80 Billion in 2016

6. Go to market
Our idea is to directly reach First Aid
and Hospitals. First, since BIE-PInCS
is a medical device, a mandatory step
is to achieve:
• demonstration of conformity with
general safety and performance
requirement;
• Patent and certification.
