The THz-Skin Pathfinder Open project, starting February 2026, aims to make early skin cancer detection faster, safer, and more accessible. Using non-invasive, label-free diagnostics and hyperspectral imaging in the terahertz range, the project will enable real-time screening without radiation or expensive equipment. AI-supported analysis of spectral fingerprints will allow accurate identification of subcutaneous cancer signatures. The four-year initiative involves academic and industrial partners across Europe, with the University of Eastern Finland leading the development of advanced metasurfaces and THz sensors.
