About Electro-Optical Sciences
EOS is a medical device company focused on designing and developing a
non-invasive, point-of-care instrument to assist in the early diagnosis of
melanoma. MelaFind features a hand-held imaging device that emits light of
multiple wavelengths to capture images of suspicious pigmented skin lesions
and extract data. Using sophisticated algorithms, the data are then
analyzed against a proprietary database of melanomas and benign lesions in
order to provide information to the physician and produce a recommendation
of whether the lesion should be biopsied.
Melanoma is the deadliest of skin cancers, responsible for approximately
80% of all skin cancer deaths. Unless melanoma is detected early and
excised with proper margins, the patient survival rate is poor, as there is
currently no cure for advanced stage melanoma.
