NGoggle has been proven to be superior over gold-standard SAP (Standard Automated Perimetry) for discriminating Glaucomatous Neuropathy
Current Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP) often takes on average 6 to 8 years to confirm diagnosis for treatment. NGoggle’s system can shorten that time to a matter of weeks by applying the use of VR and Brain Computer Interface to detect visual function loss and measure patient performance in visual tests. Advancements in multi-focal SSVEP neural stimulation techniques enabled the NGoggle system to perform at 85% sensitivity, compared to 64% for SAP (at 80% specificity).
