BOOTHWYN, PA— Pentec Health, Inc. has announced the launch of prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) services through its newly formed division, Pentec Home Medical. This initiative includes a strategic partnership with Luminopia, Inc., a groundbreaking digital health company, to expand access to Luminopia’s innovative treatment options for neuro-visual disorders.
A key component of this collaboration is Luminopia®, the first FDA-approved prescription digital therapeutic for amblyopia, commonly referred to as “lazy eye.” Amblyopia is the leading cause of vision loss in children, and Luminopia’s novel approach pairs advanced virtual reality technology with engaging content and therapeutic algorithms to offer a uniquely immersive treatment option. The new therapy reimagines traditional methods, like eye patches, into a more interactive, evidence-driven experience for children.
Pentec will act as a distribution and service provider for Luminopia, assisting healthcare providers and patients throughout the therapy process. These services include navigating insurance for medical benefit coverage, securing authorizations, and ensuring adherence to the treatment for improved outcomes.
“At Pentec, we’re driven to innovate and simplify care delivery for complex, underserved markets,” said Matthew Deans, CEO of Pentec Health. “Our partnership with Luminopia marks a significant step in our expansion into digital therapeutic services, allowing us to bring a first-of-its-kind, FDA-approved vision therapy to children and families. We are excited to launch this new service and expand the care we deliver to more patients.”
Luminopia CEO Scott Xiao shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, noting, “We are thrilled to partner with Pentec Health to enhance patient access to Luminopia. Pentec’s expertise in specialized clinical coordination and patient-centered support will ensure a seamless experience for patients and providers alike. Adding Pentec provides the flexibility to work with payers and expand coverage to patients in need, helping to navigate the complexities of medical benefits to ensure access to care. This collaboration is a shared mission of leveraging technology to improve vision health.”
This collaboration showcases Pentec Health’s dedication to addressing healthcare challenges while integrating state-of-the-art technology into its service offerings. By launching this new division and partnering with Luminopia, the company aims to improve the lives of children and families dealing with vision disorders, while advancing innovation in patient care.
