Where the evidence stands
| Our work | What it supports | What it does not show yet |
|---|---|---|
| Optical feasibility | Investigation of a candidate sensing approach | Validated chemical measurement |
| Photonic chip design | An engineering design and simulation example | A fabricated and tested sensor |
| Intended wearable use | A direction for future integration | A finished or clinically validated product |
The proposed validation sequence
- 01
Define the experiment
Specify a hypothesis, optical setup, sample and reference measurement.
- 02
Characterize the physical system
Test fabricated components and document operating conditions.
- 03
Evaluate measurement behavior
Investigate calibration, repeatability and sources of interference.
- 04
Assess the intended use
Plan any further validation required for the eventual application.
Questions that determine the next step
Which optical response is robust enough to measure? How does the result change with sample conditions? What calibration assumptions survive a physical test? The answers will define our next milestone.
Keep design evidence in context
The chip we designed in AIFIELD shows an engineering workflow, not sensing accuracy. Keeping the two records apart separates progress in the design tools from progress toward a physical measurement system.
