Project description
Ecosystem and pilot line accelerating adoption of photonics-based medical devices
Photonics technologies generate, control and detect light waves and photons. Medical device industry is a rapidly growing opportunity area for photonics technologies, with applications ranging from diagnostics to surgical tools and therapeutics. The tremendous diversity in both photonics technologies and medical applications combined with the heavy regulation makes prototyping and commercial uptake complex, time-consuming and costly. The EU-funded PhotonMed project aims to create an ecosystem of end-users and manufacturers working to continuously renew the offerings of photonics pilot lines. It will help research and technology organisations and industrial suppliers develop their photonics technologies and production methods, while end-users will have mature demonstrators, accelerating the adoption of the latest photonics technologies in medical device applications.
Objective
Photonics is a key enabling technology in the realization of modern medical devices with applications ranging from
diagnostics to personalised monitoring and therapeutics. Characteristic nature of both photonics and medical applications is high diversity. Therefore, the more widespread use of photonics technologies in scattered ecosystems presents major challenges for the technological values chains comprising end-user companies and manufacturers. In conjunction with highly regulated validation and production processes, the timespan from the proof-of-concept to product launch takes years causing high costs. Relying on existing pilot line concept, PhotonMed aims at accelerated uptake of the latest photonics technologies in medical device applications. PhotonMed project is applied to continuously renew the technology offering of photonics pilot line and to invite new members and countries to join the ecosystem. Within research-oriented PhotonMed project RTOs and industrial parties can develop their technology offering while the end-user companies get matured demonstrators based on the latest research results.
