Information

Contact: Sam Van der Jeught, Biomedical Physics, UAntwerpen sam.vanderjeught@uantwerpen.be The 3D shape of the human eardrum plays a crucial role in the process of sound transmission and any structural change to its topography is an important indicator for existing or impending middle ear pathology and subsequent hearing loss. We have developed a prototype of a new non-invasive medical device, capable of measuring high-resolution eardrum deformation in 3D and in real-time. The second-generation prototype consists of novel hardwarde design and patent-protected analysis software, and is currently undergoing clinical validation tests at NTE clincs in Europe
TTO FlandersTTO Flanders is a joint initiative of the five Flemish universities: Ghent University, University of Antwerp, KU Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Hasselt University. The technology transfer offices (TTOs) of these universities are responsible for the transfer of knowledge and technology from universities and associated university colleges to private and public partners. Is your company interested in collaborating with academic research groups? Then TTO Flanders offers just what you need.
