Photonic technologies currently have multiple applications in the medical field, such as the detection and treatment of diseases, biomedical imaging or advanced surgery. Its great portability at low cost and guarantee of sterilization that provides the light, gives them a strategic position in the health environment.
If you want to discover how photonic technologies will revolutionize the health sector in the 21st century, you should not miss the workshop organized by secpho in collaboration with the Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol (HGTP), member of our Open Innovation Club and the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) of Badalona (Barcelona).
This workshop is embedded in the framework of the European programme DIGI-B-CUBE, that provides grants and support to innovative SMEs to develop prototypes, customised products and services to tackle digitalisation challenges within the health sector, across the Bioimaging, Biosensing and Biobanking industries.
It will be a unique opportunity for health professionals and researchers of health research centers to establish synergies with industry companies and photonics professionals who can bring new perspectives to research projects and, together with the health approach, provide comprehensive and very competitive solutions in the market. This co-creation workshop will offer a space for health and photonic professionals to explore their potential to create collaborative innovation projects and will open the doors to new collaborations and competitive funding opportunities for their innovation projects with photonic technologies, using the capabilities and resources available in the private sector.
Oriented to
Doctors and researchers from transfer and research units who want to launch entrepreneurial innovation projects to carry out new ideas that include the use of photonic technologies (sensors, lasers, advanced lighting, etc.) applied to: Diagnosis, Treatment and / or Management / Logistics.
