Sajan Saini: You are more transparent than you think

2019 • E69    Jun 4, 2019    5m
It’s an increasingly common sight in hospitals around the world: a nurse measures our height, weight, blood pressure, and attaches a glowing plastic clip to our finger. Suddenly, a digital screen reads out the oxygen level in our bloodstream. How did that happen? Sajan Saini shows how pairing light with integrated photonics is leading to new medical technologies and less invasive diagnostic tools.

Lesson by Sajan Saini, directed by Artrake Studio.
