  2. R&D and Technical excellence • Full exploitation of integrated Silicon Photomultipliers potential • Design and realization of portable and low cost multi-sensors embedded system • Research Domain and ASP indication • ASP2: Embedded Systems for Healthcare and Wellbeing • Market innovation and impact • Novel method with interesting potential low industrial cost • Novel Use of Integrated SiPMfor e-health application • It may potentially change market share among actors

  3. Breast Cancer is a leadingcause of death for womenaged 40-55. In order to earlydetectthiskind of cancer, screening mammographyis the mostusedmethod. • Limitations and disadvantages • False-negative rates up to 20% • False-positive rates up to 12% • Depends on breasttissuedensity • Cannotdistinguishbenigncancerous • Possibleharmcaused by X-rayexposure • Advanced Techniques • Contrast-EnhancedMammography • Ultrasound or magneticresonanceimaging (MRI) • PositronEmissionMammography (PEM) • NearInfraredSpectroscopy

  4. Silicon PhotoMultipliers for Breast Cancer Detection • NIRS Technique Advantages • No ionizing radiation (no X-ray) • Non-invasive/No contrast agent • No breastcompression (comfortable) • Dense breastseasilyimaged • Complementary to other breast imaging modalities • Easy and inexpensive to implement • Consortium status: • Well established collaboration between UNIPA and STM • Missing capabilities and/or partners • Clinical partner • e-health Industry stakeholder • SME on high tech embedded systems • Advantages of SiPMin NIRS over PIN or APD • Higher Gain • Lower Cost • Lower Bias Voltage • Temperature stability • Wide dynamicrange • Ability to have multi-sensor or arrays for Near Infrared Spectroscopy
