Clinical Development

A staged path toward regulated clinical use.

RETINA is currently an in-development neurocognitive measurement platform. RetinaTek is pursuing staged validation and regulatory strategy for future clinician-supervised applications, beginning with concussion and recovery workflows.

Current status

Regulatory status

RETINA is not currently FDA-cleared to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or medical condition. RetinaTek's current work focuses on research use, pilot deployments, validation, usability, data-quality workflows, and preparation for future regulatory submissions.

Initial clinical-development focus: concussion and recovery.

RetinaTek's planned clinical-development pathway begins with clinician-supervised assessment workflows for concussion and recovery monitoring. The goal is to generate objective adjunctive neurocognitive metrics that can complement, not replace, clinician judgment and established standards of care.

Validation principles

Principle

Clinically relevant populations

Validation should include appropriate injured and comparison groups.

Principle

Repeatable measurement

Longitudinal designs should evaluate change over recovery windows.

Principle

Data quality and validity

Eye tracking enables review of attention, engagement, blinks, and task compliance.

Principle

Regulatory alignment

Claims, endpoints, and intended use should be shaped through regulatory feedback.

Development roadmap

Stage 1

Research and device lock

Finalize hardware/software configuration, data-quality workflows, and intended-use assumptions.

Stage 2

FDA pre-submission engagement

Align proposed claims, endpoints, comparator strategy, and validation study design.

Stage 3

Clinical validation

Enroll target populations and comparison groups to evaluate performance against pre-specified endpoints.

Stage 4

Initial regulatory submission

Prepare evidence package for future FDA review, subject to validation outcomes and FDA feedback.

Stage 5

Expansion

Potential future extensions may include longitudinal monitoring, adolescent populations, and additional neurocognitive indications.
