Rapid advancements in microfluidics, optics, and machine learning have given rise to an exciting domain where wearable devices can revolutionize the way we monitor and diagnose health conditions:Through cutting-edge technology and deep research, we aim to redefine the future of health monitoring and disease diagnosis.
1) Smart contact lens for diabetes management
Smart contact lenses for diabetes monitoring represent an innovative direction in non-invasive glucose detection and health tech. Smart contact lenses are designed to monitor glucose levels in tears as an alternative to traditional blood tests for people with diabetes.
2) Optofluidics-based Blood diagnostic technology
Optofluidics merges the manipulation of light (optics) and liquids (microfluidics) at the microscale. When applied to blood diagnostics, it allows for precise, rapid, and on-chip analysis of blood samples.
Biophotonics and light modulation plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing numerous areas in biology, medicine, and diagnostics: The use and manipulation of light in the biomedical field, particularly in therapies and deep tissue applications, is a testament to the versatility and potential of biophotonics.
1) Low level laser theraphy (Photobiomodulation)
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive procedure where low-level (low-power) lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used to alter cellular function. We aim to focus on wound healing, pain management, and cell proliferation with visible, near-infrared (NIR) light, and SLM and DMD for selective stimulation.
2) Deep tissue light delivery
Getting light deep into biological tissues is challenging due to scattering and absorption. However, it's crucial for many biomedical applications like deep tissue imaging and therapy
