Digital Photoscreener

We are pleased to announce that on June 3, 2008, VIVAKOR Inc. launched the Clinical Validation Study of it Digital PhotoScreener (DPR). The study will be conducted at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in the prestigious Department of Ophthalmology, Pediatric Ophthalmology Clinic. This important study was carefully reviewed and subsequently approved by the AAHRPP-Accredited Western Institutional Review Board (WIRB), a highly respected third-party clinical research review board. VIVAKOR's DPR was designed as a more sensitive, specific and user-friendly device to screen children for amblyogenic risk factors (e.g. myopia, hyperopia, ocular misalignment, etc.). If left undetected and untreated these conditions often lead to monocular blindness in children. VIVAKOR's technology was also designed to streamline the screening process and reduce the overall time and cost of vision screening. The clinical trials are ongoing and the estimated completion date is late 2009.
