EPIC Meeting on medical devices

Photonics technologies have revolutionized the medical market. The different effects of the light wavelengths in living organisms have allowed imaging internal organs and bones non-invasively, to develop biosensors for early detection of different diseases or to treat these diseases by making tissue incisions, heating or vaporizing specific regions.

The meeting will bring together the full value chain of diagnostic and therapeutic-related technologies and devices to open new collaborations. Topics covered include cancer pathology and surgery, with several medical doctors presenting the status of the technology and their future needs to help system integrators and laser and photonic device manufacturers in the development of new solutions to overcome the existing limitations.
