OrCam Technologies (Noorcam)

Jerusalem, Israel

OrCam Technologies has developed a wearable assistive technology device for people who are blind, visually impaired, or have reading or other disabilities. OrCam's MyEye communicates visual information by utilizing a small, intuitive smart camera that is mounted on the wearer's eyeglass frames and connects to a pocket-sized computer. MyEye instantly and discreetly reads any text printed on any surface through a tiny speaker positioned toward the user's ear. The device can also recognize faces and identify products and currency. The company is currently developing MyMe, a thumb-sized device designed to clip on a shirt or hang from a dress like a pendant. MyMe's facial recognition technology can match the face it sees with images from the wearer's Facebook or contact list and then display that data on a paired device such as a smartphone or Apple Watch. Its battery lasts a full day on a charge. The company has also developed OrCam Hear, an AI-driven wearable assistive technology device for people with hearing impairment. The device was named "Best of Innovation" for accessibility by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) at the CES 2020 Innovation Awards.

MedStartr Engagement Score

The MedStartr Index is a reflection of how the crowds that come to MedStartr everyday to find healthcare innovations reacted. Calculated by our AI agent Fyggy based on algorithms we have been building since 2012 and over 100 different factors, the math is proprietary and complex. Suffice to say, it has been found to be highly correlative with early stage company growth. What you see here is the public version.

What do you think of OrCam Technologies (Noorcam)?

A HUGE part of what early stage companies, and even late stage ones, need and get on MedStartr is honest feedback from actual patients, clinicians, hospital leaders and industry insiders. It is very easy to get tunnel vision as a founder. Please tell the team that runs this company what you think.

Clinical Benefit Potential

The potential for a project to have a large and significant impact on medical care, treatment, or prevention.

Feasibility

The likelihood that this will provide benefit for patients / care givers and that the founders can execute on their vision and plan.

Innovativeness

The distinguishing features, concept, or technology that differentiates the entry compared to others that already exist and are in widespread use.

Fundability

The reviewers' beliefs that the idea is fundable or can make it to sustainability without outside investment.

Scalability

Some great ideas are destined to failure because they are too complex or too expensive. The reviewer should consider the likelihood that a project as explained, or perhaps with some tweaks, could possibly become a worldwide solution within a reasonable time frame.

Presentation Quality

How well the team presented the idea.
