Making a Difference for Bladder Cancer Patients: Are Organoids the Solution?

Bladder cancer is a serious condition, that affects both men and women equally, that can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. Learn about this exciting AI-based tool that will support tumor boards to make personalized treatment decisions – for the benefit of both patients and healthcare systems.

Are You Concerned about the Shortage of Antibiotics? Well, Worry No More!

Thanks to new point-of-care testing, we may be able to avoid shortages and better target antibiotic usage. By helping your GP identify whether antibiotics are needed, doctors can avoid over-prescribing antibiotics and help prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Every Human Being is Unique – and so is their Breast Cancer Treatment Path! Help Improve the Personalization of Treatment!

This patient and physician-centered solution - developed directly by gynecologists and breast cancer experts - adapts the support provided dynamically and has the potential to be a valuable addition to the breast cancer care ecosystem. By providing personalized and tailored treatment plans based on real-time data, the solution can help ensure that every woman receives the care and support they need at the right time from the right partner in the care path to achieve optimal outcomes, improve their quality of life and shorten their Odyssey.

Have You Ever Heard of MCI – Maybe the "Questions Where Are My Keys" Sounds More Familiar?

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is an unusually rapid deterioration of cognitive abilities that causes frustration and anxiety in patients and family members but is not severe enough to rob them of all their independence. Instead, often relying on help from family members, they manage to “get by”, albeit with a loss in quality of life. Our team from psychiatry is working on a personalized auditory solution to support patients with (MCI) while they are waiting for their diagnosis, offering timely support and guidance to enable them to rebuild or keep their cognitive abilities.

How to Prevent People in Geriatric Care from Dangerous Repeat Surgeries

Unnecessary surgeries can be a significant burden for elderly patients, particularly when they are undergoing procedures such as implant surgeries after a fall. Providing rehabilitation centers with a simulation tool that can share the likelihood of implant malfunction caused by an overload can help healthcare professionals make informed decisions about the best course of action for their patients and support their quality of life.

No Code – Low Code – KIS – EPIC – A new Song from Fanta 4 – the German RAP Veterans? No! Empowering Every Doctor to Create Their Own Personalized Digital Workflow for the Clinic – With Just a Drag-And-Drop!

Our expert team from neurology, software, and health economics have developed a drag-and-drop software platform with the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of documentation systems in hospitals, registries, and physician practices greatly. By allowing customization without the need for coding skills, healthcare professionals and hospital decision makers can tailor the software to their specific needs and preferences, which can help to streamline workflows and reduce errors without buying a second healthcare information system (HIS).

Shudder or Seizure? How a Digital Tool Can Help Parents to Know When to Act and Jump the Queue for Rapid Intervention and Get Rapid Help - Seizure Yes or No?

Babies and toddlers can be not only a source of joy and excitement for parents but also a source of fear or anxiety. “Was that normal? Are they moving strangely? Do I need to act– or am I being paranoid?” are common thoughts for many parents. While most fears are unwarranted, when it is a seizure, then even days can make a difference. Recognizing this need, our team of neurologists and machine learning experts developed a video-based digital health solution, using AI to process and analyze the movements that should help reduce unnecessary waiting times and provide either much-needed peace of mind or the information needed to fast-track treatment.
