Head of the ZEISS Innovation Hub in Dresden, Dr. Kai Wicker, and his team have moved into the building of the Else Kröner Fresenius Center (EKFZ) for Digital Health on the campus of the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital in Dresden.

For the fourth time, the EKFZ for Digital Health is inviting applications for research funds for promising concepts at the interface of medicine and high-tech. New project proposals can be submitted in the funding round until 19.07. As always, the most important requirement: be as innovative as possible!

The next event of the EKFZ-Talentschmiede can take place partly in presence due to decreasing number of corona infections. Next Monday, June 7th, vaccinated, recovered and up to ten negatively tested persons can meet and exchange ideas in house 19, lecture hall DINZ. The EKFZ "IntelliLung" team provides insights into their work around AI and Deep Learning in ICU.

The TU Dresden wants to create an academic-industrial ecosystem for safe, highly integrated cyber-medical microsystems with the SEMECO concept and thus break the innovation backlog in the medical technology sector. SEMECO has now made it to the next round of the ideas competition of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) "Clusters4Future" as one of 15 of the 117 applications originally submitted.

On Wednesday, May 5th 2021, the EKFZ will be present at the virtual "Forschungsnachmittag" of the Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus of the TU Dresden and will be looking for young researchers. In poster presentations, clinics and institutes can introduce themselves and find out about doctoral opportunities.

At regular intervals, clinician scientists and high-tech talents from the interdisciplinary innovation projects at the EKFZ for Digital Health explain the medical or technical basics of their projects in the so-called EKFZ-Talentschmiede. In this way, the interdisciplinary exchange is also to be deepened beyond one's own project team. The next Talentschmiede will take place next Monday, April 12, 2021 and is open to interested parties.

The Else Kröner Fresenius Center (EKFZ) for Digital Health of the TU Dresden and the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus is researching the use of context-sensitive data glasses in everyday clinical practice in cooperation with tooz technologies. As part of the research project, a system is to be developed at the Dresden campus that will make medical data available to hospital staff digitally and mobile via smart glasses. The tooz smart glasses are not typical, often heavy and unwieldy AR glasses, but instead integrate the complex optical system almost invisibly into the shape of normal prescription glasses.

In order to develop a holistic approach to digital health, the EKFZ for Digital Health supports Interdisciplinary Innovation Projects on the societal impact of digital health technologies (IIP_Social) and Interdisciplinary Innovation Projects Addressing Health Economic Aspects of Digital Health Technologies (IIP_Economic).

Soft Robotics - artificial muscles that can heal themselves - opens new perspectives for medicine

We invited five experts to share their experience on the topic of the implementation of evidence-based and patient-centered digital health innovations in the clinical setting. The online symposium aimed at establishing future cooperation with the EKFZ in Core Room 2 focusing on evidence-based implementation of digital innovations in practical medicine.
