On behalf of the Organising Committee, it gives us immense pleasure to welcome you to “Photonic4Clinics”, a two-day interdisciplinary workshop scheduled on 9–10 April 2026 at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, under the esteemed patronage of the Director, AIIMS.
Photonic4Clinics is conceived as a forward-looking academic initiative that seeks to meaningfully connect clinical insight with technological innovation. As healthcare systems worldwide evolve toward precision, personalization, and digital integration, the convergence of photonics and artificial intelligence offers unprecedented opportunities to transform diagnostics, monitoring, and therapy.
Over two focused days, participants will engage in high-level scientific deliberations, practical discussions, and collaborative brainstorming sessions aimed at identifying clinically relevant challenges and co-creating feasible, scalable solutions.
We look forward to your active participation in shaping discussions, defining problem statements, and building partnerships that will drive the next generation of technology-enabled clinical solutions.
