Future Medicine: Innovations That Surprise and Inspire

Stents that simply dissolve after their task without leaving a trace – sounds futuristic? And a blood test that detects cancer at an early stage, even before symptoms appear – too good to be true? You can find out more about magnesium stents and liquid biopsies here!

We also have other exciting topics in store. See for yourself:

• DIANA: Alliance for innovative point-of-care tests
• Blood tests: Tracking down cancer with circulating DNA
• From permanent to resorbable: self-dissolving stents as heart implants
• STEETS: Mobile and safely on the move in the rehabilitation process
• AI-based wearable for early detection and prevention of deep vein thrombosis

LAB & DIAGNOSTICS

80 partners from industry and research in Saxony and Thuringia have teamed up to form the DIANA (Diagnostics and Sustainability) alliance. They aim to develop their region into a hub for the point-of-care-test industry. Learn more about the advantages from Dr. Dirk Kuhlmeier from Fraunhofer IZI in our interview!

Liquid biopsies can contribute to the early detection of cancer. With a simple blood test, tumors can be detected and monitored at an early stage. Discover how!

MED TECH & DEVICES

Self-dissolving stents made of magnesium dissolve in the body and leave no residue. Dr. Christian Napp explains how these stents are particularly beneficial for younger patients and can make future treatments easier. Learn more!

PHYSIO TECH

Improving safety for the patients during the rehabilitation process, step by step. With STEETS support aid, patients can safely and ergonomically place their walking aids wherever they want to. Thus, making therapeutic exercises easier and reducing risks. Read more!

DIGITAL HEALTH

Intelligent wearables - AI detects deep vein thromboses before they occur! A new wearable with integrated ultrasound and AI-based software which is currently being developed in a project could improve the diagnosis and monitoring of deep vein thrombosis. Discover more in the interview with Thorsten Prinz from VDE!
