Article - 21/02/2019 Using neuromedical artificial intelligence responsibly Brain-computer interfaces are the latest developments in the neurotechnology field. They are used to record brain activity, which is then decoded with artificial intelligence techniques and converted into control signals for robots or computers. While this brings hope to severely paralysed people, it also implies risks due to the interest of companies like Google and Facebook in this type of data.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/using-neuromedical-artificial-intelligence-responsibly
Article - 07/02/2019 Artificial intelligence in ophthalmology Retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are now treatable. However, it is hard to predict individual disease progression. A group of researchers at the University Eye Centre in Freiburg are currently developing a new system which is hoped will allay fears and improve therapy planning. The system uses artificial intelligence to predict therapeutic outcome from image and patient data. Initial results are already available.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/artificial-intelligence-in-ophthalmology
Anniversary - 12/12/2018 15 years of BIOPRO: Pooling competencies – pushing innovations This is the leitmotif of BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg GmbH, which was founded in 2003. 15 years is a good time to pause for a moment and take a look at BIOPRO’s work and achievements. As a central point of contact and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Baden-Württemberg government whose main objective is to promote networking, BIOPRO knows only too well that progress is not made alone, but in collaboration with others.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/15-years-of-biopro-pooling-competencies-pushing-innovations
Article - 02/10/2018 Artificial intelligence in the life sciences: machines as assistants Artificial intelligence is currently one of the most innovative issues, but also one of the most controversial research areas. It already has a firm footing in many areas of our everyday life and often we are not even aware of it. Artificial intelligence has long been an integral part of many processes in research and diagnostics in medicine and the life sciences – and it will be even more widely used in the future.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/artificial-intelligence-in-the-life-sciences-machines-as-assistants

Big Data - 26/03/2018 Eliciting reliable information from big data with classifiers and multimodal data fusion Prof. Hans A. Kestler knows a great deal about large amounts of data. He heads up the Institute of Medical Systems Biology at the University of Ulm and is constantly inundated with cooperation enquiries from clinicians. On behalf of BIOPRO, Walter Pytlik asked him whether the conditions for using big data more in biomedical research are already largely present. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/eliciting-reliable-information-from-big-data-with-classifiers-and-multimodal-data-fusion
Company profile - 05/07/2016 HS-Analysis GmbH – using digital histology to develop new drugs The idea of analysing tissue samples automatically sounds more of a pipe dream than anything else.

Dossier - 26/03/2012 Nanobiotechnology The term nanotechnology is known by well over 50 of Germans especially since the lotus effect hit the headlines in the late 1990s. Around the turn of the millennium bio was inserted between nano and technology and nanobiotechnology has since taken up more and more room in the headlines as well as requiring major financial investment. What is nanobiotechnology what is the difference between nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology and where and what…https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/dossier/nanobiotechnology
