This week the symposium "Daten statt raten" took place for the second time - a top-class event on virtual clinical trials, simulation and data analytics in medical technology, organised by MedicalMountains GmbH.
There were fascinating insights into topics including the following:
- Simulation in cardiology
Dr Nils Karajan presented how the positioning and unfolding of artificial heart valves can be simulated. - Personalised implants
Dr Ronja Schierjott-Hermle from Aesculap emphasised that simulations help to make well-founded decisions in joint replacement surgery.
However, access to pathological data remains a challenge. - Cleaning simulations
Michael Ehlen: expert knowledge from simulation technology and medical technology is crucial for realistic models. - AI in sports medicine
Prof. Christophe Ley showed how AI can predict injuries - with wearables as the data source.
Challenges and future prospects:
- Standardised data is essential for developing better models
- Best practices must be shared to drive progress forward faster
- AI and simulations will make revolutionary leaps in the next 10-15 years
Particularly impressive:
In addition to the specialist talks, a throwable microphone - embedded in a foam cube - made for an interactive round of discussion.
Conclusion:
To advance simulation technologies in medical technology, close cooperation between companies, universities and regulatory authorities is needed.
The future is promising!
