About Phoenix Technology Group: Phoenix Technology Group™ empowers people to see: we empower researchers to see more in their fight to prevent blindness; we empower clinicians to see more in their fight to save sight.  We do that by providing clinicians and researchers around the world with stunning retinal images, coupled with timely and accurate data about the retina and the eye. Founded by Bert Massie, Ph.D., inventor of the first digital camera for pediatric retinal imaging, our company created the Phoenix MICRON™ platform for in-vivo imaging of animals in eye research.  Phoenix MICRON™ is the standard of excellence for researchers worldwide: ten of the top twelve research institutions employ a Phoenix MICRON™ solution. In 2017, the company launched to great acclaim the Phoenix ICON™ platform which reinvented wide-field retinal imaging for human clinical applications. Phoenix ICON™ delivers stunning high-contrast, high-resolution images, with quality you can see and data you can trust. The Phoenix ICON™ platform also boasts a number of features including a lighter weight cart and a six-hour battery life.  Recognizing that telemedicine is the future of ROP screening, in 2018, Phoenix launched Phoenix CONNECT, which today is the most widely adopted telemedicine platform for ROP screening. Phoenix CONNECT connects the nursing, ophthalmology, and neonatology teams to enable delivery of the best care by facilitating timely expert screening to babies in any NICU. And, the platform implements a proven screening workflow that generates critical photo documentation to enhance treatment determination and reduce risk.
