How the iScope works
Ears
The iScope is the only procedural otoscope on the market. It provides affordable ear microscope functionality to the GP. The iScope is designed to be used to examine the ear like a normal otoscope and additionally to perform minor procedures under vision like ear wax removal by using suction.
Eyes
The iScope is an ophthalmoscope and a GP version of a slit lamp. Inspection of the anterior eye and the retina can be done at an arm’s length distance. It also has blue light and can be used together with fluorescein to assess corneal changes. Additionally, the iScope provides the same magnified visualisation as of a slit lamp for foreign body removal from the cornea.
Skin
The iScope acts as a hybrid dermatoscope. It can be used contactless, or with skin contact by using a specific adaptor. Like other dermatoscopes, the iScope has polarized and non-polarized light. It also has a blue light which can be used for diagnosis of some infectious skin diseases. The iScope will be developed to have the same clarity and colours like analogue dermatoscopes.
