SKINSENS

ASE Optics is one of the members of the consortium created to develop an optical sensor using advanced laser technology to enable real-time, non-invasive (non-biopsy) diagnosis of skin cancer.

Specifically, the possibility of developing a thermo-optical sensor with electrical readout, to be called Skinsens, to detect these skin alterations will be investigated. Subsequently, a prototype will be developed for validation.

It should be noted that the techniques currently used to detect and diagnose skin cancer are invasive (they require biopsies), the results are not immediate (they require laboratory analysis of samples), they are expensive and require specialized personnel and equipment.

This consortium formed by ASE Optics, Radiantis, Lasercare, Procarelight and coordinated by secpho, has been a beneficiary of Next Generation EU funds channeled by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism to develop this research.
