As more knowledge about the light properties and how to manipulate it is acquired, new solutions revolutionizing healthcare are developed. Today, photonics is yet again the key enabling technology for more precise and less invasive diagnostics and clinical procedures. However, the diversity of the technologies and ecosystem still retain the challenge for the development of medical devices and their integration in the clinical practice. At this meeting we bring together the whole supply chain for an open discussion on how to endorse photonics-based medical devices.
