Photonics in Medical Diagnostics – latest developments & healthcare solutions

May 6, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot

This event is designed to bring together the latest photonic diagnostic advances with those experienced in providing profitable heath care solutions, providing a greater understanding of what photonics technologies have in common and encouraging best practice in commercial development. Some of the latest optical based diagnostic techniques will be covered in the first part of this meeting. All those techniques have proven diagnostic capability and are in the process of being commercially developed.

Bringing these, and any other new solution, to the healthcare practitioner requires much more than a new technique. Not only does a complete medical system require engineering around the technology, it must be delivered to the market it a way that delivers both clinical benefit and economic advantage for suppliers and healthcare providers. The second set of presentations will focus on case studies from experienced heathcare solution providers who have many years of experience of delivering successful solutions to the healthcare market.
