Dominik realized the potential of VR-Headsets equipped with eyetrackers for this problem and implemented first examinations by mimicking the manual examination by the physician. This is how the original version of neos^® was born.

Initial test results were promising, the two pursued the idea further and Dominik Brügger started as a Co-Founder at machineMD right after his PhD because he recognized the great potential and the positive impact of neos^®. As Head of Technology, he sees himself as a link between medical research and technology. His responsibility is to lead the technological development and implementation of neos^® and to coordinate the development and requirements between all internal and external partners. The functional prototype of neos^®, which includes eight examinations, has met great feedback from future users – an important milestone for Dominik, of which he is particularly proud and proves to him that machineMD is on the right track.
