Imaging, Sensing and Digital Health

The Imaging, Sensing, and Digital Health track applies new materials, instrumentation, communication, and analysis approaches to detect and track physical and chemical indicators of health and biology.

Applications include various microscopy and clinical imaging modalities, wearable and implantable sensors, point-of-care desktops of handheld devices, bioreactor and biomanufacturing sensing, and surgical suite sensing.
