H2020: InSiDe

Full Name: Integrated Silicon photonics for Cardiovascular Disease monitoring

Duration: 1/1/2020-31/12/2023

Partners:

• Medtronic
• Universiteit Gent
• University College Cork - Tyndall National Institute
• Politecnico di Torino
• Microsemi Semiconductor Limited
• Argotech a.s.
• Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale
• Universiteit Maastricht

Objective:

• The unmet need to accelerate the access for the medical community to a new prototype of a diagnostic device, based on a silicon photonics integrated circuit, able to identify and characterize different stages of cardiovascular diseases while proving its efficacy to drive the proper therapy adoption and to monitor its evolution, in order to reduce the healthcare costs and improve patients outcome, will be the rationale and driver of the proposed InSiDe project.

INTEC's Role:

• Design, fabrication and test of the SiPh chip (iSiPP50G)
• Design of optical system
• Software for device operation and real-time data visualisation
