Dossier - 09/09/2019 Artificial intelligence in medicine: assistance for human senses There is no way around it. Whether we like it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) has long been part of our lives, in traffic management, marketing campaigns or in the fields of medicine and life sciences. AI is omnipresent, often without us being aware of it. Baden-Württemberg is home to one of the largest AI research consortia in Europe and has recently become one of the European hotspots for this key technology.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/dossier/artificial-intelligence-medicine-assistance-human-senses
Expert interview - 13/05/2019 Innovation management in the life sciences – Inova DE provides insights Personalized medicine, medical technology, digital health and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing diagnostics and product development.

Article - 28/03/2019 Supporting the human use of artificial intelligence Artificial intelligence is no longer a vision of the future, but is already in our midst: whether it is parking aids or search engines, we use the technology quite naturally in many areas of daily life. It promises new, unlimited opportunities, but also poses risks. Experts from the Integrata Foundation in Tübingen work on ethical issues and the human use of IT for improving the life of as many people as possible. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/supporting-the-human-use-of-artificial-intelligence
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

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
