Connected Health and Wellness
"Connected health" is a concept that makes it possible to create personalized diagnoses and treatments for each patient and helps facilitate dialog between the different players to reduce overall costs to society.
It currently takes up to three weeks to diagnose cancer by analyzing biological tissues. In the near future, multispectral infrared imaging will reduce analysis time to only one hour, at equivalent levels of reliability. This innovation will speed up patient care and increase chances of survival.
How can we determine on a patient-by-patient basis the most appropriate anti-cancer agent to treat a tumor? Ultra-high-precision weighing can measure a small change in the mass of a tumor’s cell and therefore assess its sensitivity to treatment.
The Epicool project is investigating the use of optics to cool epileptogenic areas in the brains of epilepsy patients resistant to other treatments. A prototype implantable device is currently being developed and will be miniaturized before animal testing begins.
Currently, labs require at least eight hours to determine the most efficient antibiotic treatment for a given infection. SUPPLY, a new research project at CEA-Leti, hopes to revolutionize this process thanks to a novel method of analysis based on “optical tweezers”. The project aims to create a prototype that could enable labs to confirm a treatment in only two hours.
The world's most influential tech event is back for another edition. For a new consecutive year, the CEA will be present at EUREKA PARK with a device including a technological innovation and 4 startups that allow to encompass three major transitions of the moment that are health, energy and digital. The CEA will also participate in CES UNVEILED LAS VEGAS on January 3, 2023 with the presence of the NIR demonstration and the startup Inocel. Meet the CEA at booth #60200 in Eureka Park!
