L2M – Osteoprobe: A handheld medical device probe for the intraoperative assessment of bone cancer to avoid cancer relapse

Our project aims to develop Osteoprobe, a smart medical device that helps doctors identify cancerous bone tissue instantly during surgery. It uses light and electrical signals to tell the difference between healthy and cancerous bone, providing quick and accurate results without the need for extra tests. This will help surgeons make better decisions, remove only what’s necessary, and reduce the chances of cancer coming back. For our partner organization, Osteoprobe offers a new, cost-effective technology that can improve surgical outcomes, make bone cancer treatment more precise, and bring a valuable innovation to the healthcare market.
