What we already thought would be a fun trip turned out to be so much more: the love and enthusiasm of the exhibitors, attendees and Maker Faire Rome’s team for innovation, education, and general celebration of the maker movement was awe-inspiring. There is so much to see that a single year in attendance is not enough, so if you ever get the opportunity, head to this show, soak in the sea of inventions, and make some great friends along the way.

Ago Intelligente per la Diagnosi del Tumore della Prostata
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the male population and represents about 20% of all cancers diagnosed in men. Estimates in Italy speak of around 35,000 new cases a year, but the risk of the disease having an unfortunate outcome is low, especially if intervention is made in the initial stages.
The system that we intend to present at Maker Faire Rome 2023, developed as part of the project 'BARTOLO - Sviluppo ed applicazione di nuove tecnologie robotiche per la diagnosi bioptica del tumore prostatico’ finanziato dalla Regione Campania (POR CAMPANIA FESR 2014/2020), consists in a miniaturized probe, based on optical fiber technology and integrated inside a medical needle, capable of measuring the elastic consistency of biological tissues with high spatial resolution (the fiber sensor in fact has a diameter of less than a millimetre), for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
