Optical Fiber Biosensors for Mini-Invasive Medical Devices
This webinar is hosted By: Optical Biosensors Technical Group
06 May 2022 8:00 - 9:00
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)Optical fiber sensors are emerging as a high-performance technology for digital monitoring, thanks to the possibility to combine great accuracy and versatility with the possibility of spatial resolution.
In this webinar hosted by the Optical Biosensors Technical Group, Daniele Tosi will discuss his lab's research, which has brought distributed optical fiber sensing to the micro-scale for designing medical devices empowered by optical fiber sensors. The key enabling technologies are the possibility to tune the scattering properties of the fibers, and the biofunctionalization of the fibers for biological detection.
Through the webinar, the impact of sensors for medical devices is described with emphasis on three main areas: (1) Real-time biosensors with minimalistic form factors; (2) Shape sensing of percutaneous and endoscopic devices; (3) Digital monitoring of cancer thermotherapies.
