Product testing under real conditions - 11/05/2022 INSPIRE Living Lab: a bridge between industry and the clinic Coming up with innovative ideas and products in the medical care area is highly relevant not only for the further development of Baden-Württemberg as a health region, but also for improving healthcare itself.

New edition - 24/05/2019 Tumour metastasis Cancer is usually not curable when metastases have formed in the body. Metastases are often resistant to drugs that have successfully eliminated the primary tumour.

Article - 20/05/2009 One-sided diabetes debate – social issues not in the public domain Paediatrician and epidemiologist Reinhard Holl does not like exaggeration. He knows the real statistics only too well and, at the same time, is well aware how different statistics relating to diabetes in children and adolescents are “sold” to the public. Holl is head of the Computer-based Quality Management in Medicine workgroup at the Institute of Epidemiology at the University of Ulm. He has been collecting data on diabetes since 1995 and has…https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/one-sided-diabetes-debate-social-issues-not-in-the-public-domain
