New publication: NIRSBOX tissue oximetry captures the metabolic impact of bed rest on skeletal muscle.

Publications

A new paper in Experimental Physiology reports how prolonged bed rest alters skeletal muscle oxygen use in both young and older adults, using time-domain tissue oximetry with the PIONIRS NIRSBOX. In the study, the device was applied over the vastus medialis to track muscle oxygenation during transient ischaemia and to estimate resting muscle Oโ‚‚ uptake

PIONIRS at CARNet 2025 โ€“ Fort Worth, Texas USA | November 12โ€“14thย 

Events

Our team will participate as both sponsor and exhibitor at CARNet annual meeting 2025, which brings together international experts to discuss advances in cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) assessment and neurovascular monitoring. Discover Our Latest Research: At PIONIRS, we have focused on using Time-Domain Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (TD-NIRS) to noninvasively measure cerebral oxygenation and microvascular reactivity. TD-NIRS provides

Prefrontal brain oximetry in pediatric LRTIs: new Scientific Reports study using our NIRSBOX tissue oximeter.

Publicationspaper

A new peer-reviewed paper in Nature Portfolioโ€™s Scientific Reports shows that time-domain NIRS (TD-NIRS) with NIRSBOX can detect prefrontal cortex tissue oxygenation differences in children hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) compared with age- and sex-matched controls. In multivariate analysis, cerebral StOโ‚‚ emerged as an independent predictor of LRTI status, underscoring the added value

PIONIRS featured in IEEE JSTQE: shaping the neurophotonics frontier

InterviewsPublications

Weโ€™ve been busy building, validating, and iteratingโ€”and IEEE JSTQE thought it was worth a chat. In their latest issue, Michele Lacerenza and Mauro Buttafava discuss how PIONIRS brings rigorous TD-NIRS measurements out of the lab and into real-life research and care. The conversation reflects what drives us every day: quantitative accuracy, robust engineering, and tools

Harnessing the Power of Hybrid NIRS: A Dive into Eskandari et al.โ€™s cbNIRS Study

Publications

At PIONIRS, weโ€™re always excited to see how our NIRSBOX-Q platform fuels innovation across biophotonics. In their recent Optica article, Eskandari and colleagues introduce a clever fusion of continuous-wave hyperspectral measurements with PIONIRSโ€™s four-wavelength time-domain NIRS systemโ€”what they call โ€œcalibrated broadband NIRS,โ€ or cbNIRS. ย  From Concept to Quantitative Insight Traditional near-infrared spectroscopy can measures

Game-Changing Advancement in Non-Invasive Tissue Oximetry

We’ve achieved skin pigmentation bias-free tissue oximetry thanks to our TD-NIRS system NIRSBOX. A pivotal research study including the clinical + lab-grade measurement campaign confirms that TD-NIRS delivers bias-free measurements, regardless of skin pigmentation, paving the way for inclusive and precise clinical applications. ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ ๐‡๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐•๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐’๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ: ๐Ÿ”ธ 350 subjects tested with Fitzpatrick
