Abstract

The "Bio-Optics: Design and Application" symposium, held on April 12-15, 2015, in Vancouver, BC, was an important step in a continuous journey to closely connect technological design advancement and biomedical applications. The symposium presented a broad range of innovations in diagnostic devices, endoscopy, optical microscopy, optical coherence tomography, multi-modal imaging, and highlighted specific applications including cancer diagnostics, detection of infectious disease and point of care, as well as microsurgery treatment.
