Webinar: Integrated Photonics for Biosensing: Current Developments and Future Potential

PhotonDelta, the Photonic Integration Technology Centre (PITC), and Brainport Development invite you to the second session in our webinar series on integrated photonics in healthcare. This session will focus on biosensing and the current developments and future potential of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology in this critical application area.

Date: 19 June 2025
Time: 16:00–17:00 CET

Integrated photonics offers significant advantages for biosensing: miniaturisation, low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and high sensitivity, along with the potential for multiplexed detection. These features are enabling a new generation of diagnostic and monitoring tools, many of which are being developed within the PhotonDelta ecosystem.

This field is advancing rapidly, supported by major funding initiatives such as the €1.1 billion National Growth Fund investment in PhotonDelta and the ePixfab Joint Undertaking grant from the European Union. These initiatives are driving the industrialisation of photonic technologies, supporting startups, expanding talent and infrastructure, and accelerating innovation across application domains, with healthcare as one of the programme’s key focus areas.

Topics covered will include:

• Wearable health and vital signs monitoring devices
• Rapid pathogen detection and molecular diagnostics
• Minimally invasive, image-guided therapies
• Organ-on-chip monitoring
• System-in-package integration and more

Speakers:

• PhotonDelta – Technology overview
• Delta Life Science – Accelerating life-science research with label-free multiplex evanescent field biosensors
• Surfix – Redefining Point-of-Care Testing with a Photonic Diagnostics Platform with lab-level precision
• Nostics – <10min to pathogen identification: Miniaturised Point of Care platform using Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and Spectral AI
• Amazec Photonics – Cardiovascular Monitoring & diagnostics with Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) temperature sensor with 0,0001 0C resolution

A panel discussion will follow, highlighting key technology trends, ecosystem insights, and market opportunities.

This session is part of a broader effort to connect innovators, industry leaders, and healthcare professionals to explore how integrated photonics can help address key needs in the healthcare sector. The goal is to inspire greater awareness, foster collaboration, and accelerate the adoption of breakthrough solutions in diagnostics and patient monitoring.

We welcome researchers, entrepreneurs, clinicians, investors, and technology developers to join the conversation.
