Molecular imaging  comprises a set of medical imaging technologies which provides detailed information of what is happening in organs and tissues at the molecular and cellular level. Whereas other diagnostic imaging procedures — such as X-rays — provide images with  of anatomical information, molecular imaging allows to see and measure the  functionality of the body.

A medical device is usually an apparatus designed to be used for diagnostics, monitoring and/or treatment of diseases. The sector has become increasingly important for healthcare, employing more than 0.5 Million people in the EU. In MEDIC we work to develop new technologies with a direct impact in healthcare.

Medical sensors give insight into the dynamics of the physiology of individuals. They provide information as the body evolves and they can be integrated into wearable formats (cloths, rings...).  By extracting physiological information in a continuous fashion wearable sensors will change the reactive medicine paradigm to a more efficient and pro-active personalized healthcare.
