Optica Online Industry Meeting: Medical Photonics (Longevity / Cardiology / Neurology)
24 August 2027 10:00 - 11:30
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)
Join us for the Optica Online Industry Meeting on Medical Photonics: Cardiovascular Imaging, Diagnostics & Intervention, exploring how optical and photonic technologies are transforming the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of cardiovascular disease. As one of the world’s leading healthcare challenges, cardiovascular care increasingly relies on high-resolution imaging, real-time sensing, minimally invasive intervention, and data-driven clinical decision-making to improve patient outcomes. Advances in optical imaging, laser-enabled procedures, and integrated photonics are enabling smaller, more precise cardiovascular devices while expanding access to faster and more personalized care.
This session will bring together clinicians, medical device manufacturers, imaging companies, and enabling photonics providers to discuss how photonics is shaping the future of cardiovascular diagnostics and intervention. Attendees will gain insights into intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT), catheter-based imaging and guided intervention systems, fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging, spectroscopy for tissue characterization, laser-enabled cardiovascular procedures, wearable monitoring, and AI-assisted image analysis. The discussion will also examine miniaturization, packaging, manufacturability, clinical workflow integration, and the challenges of scaling cardiovascular photonics technologies into widespread clinical deployment.
