PROFILE

Vibronix aims to develop advanced imaging and sensor technologies for disease diagnosis and treatment. Our motivation to start Vibronix is to see the impact of our research work by translating the technologies to medical practice. We currently focuses on photoacoustic imaging and sensing platform technology that has great potential to apply broadly. The founders have been working together and come up with multiple innovations that has direct commercialization value. Such as: MarginPAT: A multimodal acoustic imaging system which provides automatic cancer detection during the breast cancer surgery for a rapid and accurate assessment of cancer on the margin of excised tissue. Acoustar: A photoacoustic-based fiber optical guide wire for tumor localization during lumpectomy, which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of the surgery. SensorBlade: An electrosurgical equipment integrated with photoacoustic sensor to avoid miss cutting the artery and nerve during laparoscopy. IVPA: A heart catheter with a photoac
