Office Based Osteoporosis Screening
NEVA Electromagnetics has created an entirely new, simple method to detect osteoporosis – making bone density screening accessible to all. Our solution is office-based, easy to use, fast, accurate, safe, and cost effective.
Innovative
Our radiofrequency wave system relies on novel, proprietary, patent-pending antenna technology. Bone loss is measured through signal attenuation (reduction in RF signal strength as it passes through bone).
Safe
The system transmits a small amount of radiofrequency power into the wrist, roughly equivalent to a Bluetooth headset’s and significantly less than the radiated power of a typical cellphone.
Easy
The measurement is taken at the wrist and only takes about a minute. Unlike traditional screening methods there is no undressing, no gels, no radiation, no additional travel, no specialized technician; the system is fully automated and accurate.
Accurate
We have carried out trials on 72 subjects, obtaining extremely compelling results (sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 94%). These results are obtained without the inclusion of any additional clinical risk factors. Given that other recent studies have shown a strong correlation between bone density measurements in the arms, hip, and spine, the radio transmission data may be usable on its own as a predictor of bone density.
