Therapy

Robotics and AI for Innovative Treatment Methods

In the therapy field, Fraunhofer IMTE develops state-of-the-art technologies for robotic surgery and modern ventilation systems. Through the targeted use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven algorithms, doctors are supported in decision-making to enable more personalized and precise treatment approaches. These innovations play a crucial role in making treatments safer and more efficient, setting new standards in patient care.

 

Digital Twins: Simulation for Optimized Treatments

A key focus is the development of digital organ and system models that serve as digital twins. These virtual models enable improved support for therapeutic decisions through simulation, prediction, and sensor fusion. In-silico trials allow interventions to be tested in a virtual environment beforehand to minimize risks and increase patient safety. This method also accelerates the development and transfer of new technologies into clinical practice.

 

Expertise at the Intersection of Medicine, Informatics, and Engineering

Fraunhofer IMTE brings together interdisciplinary expertise in hardware and software development, AI-supported algorithms, regulatory know-how, and modern manufacturing technologies. This broad spectrum of expertise enables the development of new assistive systems for surgical robotics and intelligent ventilation technologies, further optimizing personalized therapies.

 

Future Prospects: Increasing Safety and Efficiency

Future work will focus on the further development of surgical assistance systems and the establishment of new testing and development modalities for cardiovascular and ventilation technologies. The goal is to continuously improve the safety and efficiency of medical procedures and set new standards in modern therapy.
