SKINSENS

ASENSE is one of the members of the consortium created to develop an optical sensor that uses advanced laser technology to enable real-time, noninvasive (biopsy-free) skin cancer diagnosis.

Specifically, the possibility of developing a thermo-optical sensor with electrical reading, called Skinsens, to detect these skin changes will be investigated. A prototype will then be developed for validation.

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

This consortium, formed by ASENSE, Radiantis, Lasercare, and Procarelight, coordinated by secpho, has received Next Generation EU funding channeled by the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism to develop this research.
