BioCare to Present at Windhover Information and Medtech Insight's ``Investment In Innovation'' Conference.BOSTON -- BioCare Systems, Inc., will be presenting on Thursday, October 21st at Windhover wind·hov·er n. Chiefly British A kestrel. Information and Medtech Insight's prestigious "Investment In Innovation" event, taking place October 21-22, 2004 at the Westin Copley Place Copley Place is an enclosed shopping mall located in the Back Bay section of Boston, Massachusetts. It is part of a complex that includes office buildings, two hotels, and a parking garage. Hotel in Boston, Mass. BioCare Systems, Inc. (BioCare) develops and markets FDA FDA abbr.

Low Level Light Therapy, the medical device category that includes Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and laser technologies, is the application of red and near infrared light Noun 1. infrared light - electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves infrared emission, infrared radiation, infrared over injuries and lesions to improve wound/soft tissue healing and give relief for both acute and chronic pain. This promotes the body's own natural healing natural healing Alternative healing Alternative health Any healing technique that may be rooted in supernaturalist methods. See Absent healing, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Alexander technique, Applied kinesiology, Ayurvedic medicine, Bioenergetics, Cayce therapies, and tissue immune responses. In the clinical setting, Low Level Light Therapy has proven effective for many conditions to increase the speed, quality and tensile strength of tissue repair; give pain relief; resolve inflammation; and improve function of damaged neurological tissue. BioCare has improved upon the proven technology of the science of photobiomodulation and developed a medical device for the consumer market using LED in place of laser technology. The company's patented emitter technology maximizes photobiomodulation with optimal dosage and wavelength parameters. Unique features of this technology control the output wavelength by regulating the temperature of the LED, allowing the energy to be absorbed by the body in a highly effective manner. Research in Low Level Light Therapy by leading international scientists, including Dr. Harry Whelan of NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. and Dr. Tiina Karu, with the Russian Academy of Sciences Russian Academy of Sciences (Russian: Росси́йская Акаде́мия Нау́к, , has determined that the stimulating effect of photon penetration and cell absorption, not the source of light (laser or LED), is the critical component to the biological results. Because LED light is safer, less expensive and as effective as the more highly complex technology used in clinical settings, using LED in place of laser technology enables a product to be successfully developed for the consumer market. Researchers are currently investigating additional Low Level Light Therapy applications for spinal cord injuries Spinal Cord Injury Definition Spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord that causes loss of sensation and motor control. Description Approximately 10,000 new spinal cord injuries (SCIs) occur each year in the United States. , Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonism, degenerative brain disorder first described by the English surgeon James Parkinson in 1817. When there is no known cause, the disease usually appears after age 40 and is referred to as Parkinson's disease. , strokes, brain tumors and tissue, muscle and organ regeneration as well as healing wounds, ophthalmic applications and diabetic neuropathy Diabetic Neuropathy Definition Diabetic neuropathy is a nerve disorder caused by diabetes mellitus. Diabetic neuropathy may be diffuse, affecting several parts of the body, or focal, affecting a specific nerve and part of the body. . BioCare has developed prototypes and FDA 510(k) K042532 approval is pending. The company anticipates the development and introduction of products targeted at the $32 billion therapeutic pain management market, of which the medical device segment is $719MM and growing at a rate of 9% per year. Product launch plans in the $3 billion minimally invasive cosmetic procedure market are included in the company's financial projections. Additional market opportunities have also been identified. About Medtech Insight Medtech Insight's "Investment In Innovation" conferences are considered the premier forum for senior executives in the investment and medical technology community to preview emerging medtech companies in need of funding, acquisition and/or strategic partnership. Medtech Insight, which was recently acquired by Windhover Information Inc. (www.windhover.com), publisher of IN VIVO in vivo /in vi·vo/ (ve´vo) [L.] within the living body. in vi·vo adj. Within a living organism. in vivo adv. : The Business & Medicine Report, Start-UP: Windhover's Review of Emerging Technologies, and IN VIVO EuropeRx, offers a wide variety of products and services for the medical technology executive. In addition to conferences, the company publishes the "medtech insight" newsletter, a monthly publication covering the latest trends and innovations in the medical technology industry, as well as analyses of medtech markets through its Reports group, and offers custom consulting and market research.
