Overview
EPV Sensors is a private, pre-revenue medical device startup founded in 2010 (incorporated 2015) and based in San Diego, CA. The company is developing a portable, handheld tonometer (TT001) that uses proprietary micro-force transducers and signal processing to enable non-invasive, at-home IOP monitoring for glaucoma management. With a small core engineering team and technology originating from the University of Arizona, EPV Sensors aims to address a significant unmet need in ophthalmic diagnostics by moving IOP measurement from the clinic to the home.
Technology Platform
Proprietary tactile sensing platform using an array of micro-force transducers and advanced signal processing algorithms for non-invasive physiological measurement, applied to ophthalmic diagnostics.
Opportunities
Risk Factors
Competitive Landscape
EPV Sensors faces competition from established tonometer manufacturers (e.g., Reichert, Canon, Topcon) and emerging digital health companies exploring home eye monitoring. Its differentiation hinges on the tactile sensing approach for patient comfort and the specific design for reliable home use, a space that is not yet crowded with validated solutions.
