Piezoelectric Thin Film Gives Metasurface Lens Tunable Focus
A research team from SINTEF Smart Sensors and Microsystems in Norway has created a metasurface lens that uses a piezoelectric thin film to change focal length when a small voltage is applied. Because it is extremely compact and lightweight, the lens could be useful for portable medical instruments, drone-based 3D mapping, and other applications bolstered by the miniaturization of components.

Simple Camera Setup Enables 3D Human Shape Reconstruction
Researchers from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) proposed a deep-learning-based method for the three-dimensional human shape reconstruction when the original figure is only partly visible. The method is relatively low cost, provides high compression of the images obtained, and is easily integrated with existing virtual reality tools. The method was developed using a real-world data set. A clinical trial is pending.

Optical Filters for Point of Care
Delta Optical Thin Film A/S
Point of Care (PoC) instruments have various uses in medical diagnostics, including the detection of infectious diseases such as Covid-19. These types of tests only require a single drop of blood, saliva, or urine and can be performed by a GP within minutes.

Emerging Technologies Changing Ophthalmology Access and Point of Care
Thu, Mar 17, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
This webinar — for those interested in visual optics, ophthalmology, and biomedical devices — introduces five technologies that are using optics, photonics, or imaging to redefine how patients are served along the point-of-care continuum, from diagnosis and treatment to surgical selection and correction. It also showcases how technologies are being applied to make tools more mobile and accessible, minimize workflows, and reduce the risks associated with COVID-19 to significantly improve both the patients’ and the practitioners’ experience. Presented by Luminate.
