AI in medical device manufacturing
A team of researchers from Münster, Germany, wants to develop a digital system for organizing plannable interventions. The AI platform is intended to support doctors and clinics, as well as care centers, in being able to work with rapidly scalable planning.
Many healthcare professionals are under extraordinary strain, and not just since the Corona pandemic. As a result, the health care system increasingly finds itself in the area of tension between available and required resources. A team of researchers from the Westphalian Wilhelms University (WWU) and the University Hospital (UKM) Münster would like to make operations even safer in the future and thus relieve the currently heavily stressed nursing staff.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of medical devices is intended to optimize processes in the operating room - before, during and after surgery. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia is supporting the "Addustry" project through the "Start-up-Transfer NRW" initiative with 233,000 euros, according to a statement from the University of Münster.
Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Georg Gosheger, Director of the UKM Clinic for Orthopedics, and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Schewe (Chair of Business Administration, Organization, Human Resources and Innovation), the interdisciplinary team is developing a scalable system for organizing plannable interventions. In the future, a digital platform will help clinics, medical care centers and medical practices to significantly reduce the necessary use of materials as well as potential errors and hazards.
