NIRSBOX
PIONIRS unveils the most accurate TD-NIRS instrument available on the market
Serving elite scientists in their next discovery

Delivering Time-Domain NIRS technology to the world
Time Domain Near-infrared Spectroscopy (TD-NIRS) is a non-invasive optical technique that uses low-power laser light to measure various biomarkers in humans, like functional activations in our brain or hemodynamics in our muscles.
Proven unbiased tissue oximetry
Our NIRSBOX, based on advanced TD-NIRS technology, ensures accurate and reliable results across all skin types, reinforcing our commitment to inclusive healthcare.

The study
In the different landscape of healthcare, optical diagnostics often struggle with accuracy due to variations in skin pigmentation. However, through rigorous in vivo and phantom experiments, we’ve demonstrated that skin pigmentation does not affect the accuracy of our technology. This reinforces the instrument reliability across all skin tones, making it a powerful and unbiased tool for your research.
Our findings pave the way for the continued advancement of our technology, ensuring unbiased and inclusive healthcare.
