Luciole Medical has developed a technology platform that uses the absorbance and transmittance properties of light at the near-infrared spectral range to measure brain oxygenation levels and cerebral blood flow, critical parameters necessary for proper brain function. Luciole Medical’s first product developed using the platform, called RheoProbe, is a minimally invasive device that received market authorization in Europe. The company’s second device, RheoPatch, a non-invasive patch, is in the final stage of development with approval expected in late 2019.
