KI.NRW flagships at MEDICA from 11 to 14 November 2024 © Vanessa Leissring
Innovative Secure Medical Campus and SmartHospital.NRW will be at the international Trade Fair for Medical Technology & Healthcare
At the joint booth of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (Hall 13, booth A89), trade fair visitors will have the opportunity to talk to experts from the two flagships about the intelligent hospital of the future, SmartHospital.NRW, and the networked digital medical campus, Innovative Secure Medical Campus, during MEDICA 2024 in the Düsseldorf (Germany) exhibition halls. You will get to know exciting AI demonstrators and use cases from the hospital context and can find out more about the topics of artificial intelligence and the future of digital transformation in the healthcare sector and its concrete implementation in presentations. The presentations will also be broadcast live online.
At this year’s MEDICA, the Innovative Secure Medical Campus (ISMC) project of the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) will present two sub-projects including showcases: On the one hand, it will focus on the current state of research on surgical topics, such as the use of virtual reality in teaching, mixed reality for intraoperative navigation or AI for clinical decision support. Visitors will also learn about assistance systems for care that are currently being tested in studies in Bonn: These include, for example, smart drinking cups for automatically recording fluid intake and wearables for wireless monitoring of vital signs. All of the cases presented focus on the direct added value for patients. The ISMC experts will also give a presentation on the topic of nursing research.
The SmartHospital.NRW project under the consortium leadership of University Hospital Essen will be presenting various demonstrators live on site at MEDICA together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems IAIS. Visitors will learn how natural language processing is used, for example, to create doctor’s letters and control machines. Presentations by experts Dr Jil Sander, Dario Antweiler, Florian Jovy-Klein and Thomas Reibe will give them a deeper insight into the project and learn more about the future of digital transformation in the healthcare sector. They will also learn about AI tools and application examples for foundation models, as well as the impact of digitalisation on patients and hospital staff.

Innovative Secure Medical Campus (ISMC)
In the flagship project ‘Innovative Secure Medical Campus’, the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) is being developed into an innovative, smart and fully networked digital medical campus of the future with the necessary cyber and data security using state-of-the-art technologies such as AI, 5G, Extended Reality (XR), robotics and autonomous driving. The holistic digitalisation solution will test various aspects of patient diagnostics and treatment as well as process optimisation in a cyber-secure research and real laboratory, which can then be transferred to other clinics.

SmartHospital.NRW
In the consortium led by University Hospital Essen, scientists and experts in the ‘SmartHospital.NRW’ project are developing a procedural model to pave the way for the transformation of existing hospitals into intelligent facilities of the future. AI systems harbour enormous potential, particularly with regard to increasing efficiency, supporting diagnostics and relieving the burden on staff, which is being harnessed and made usable for other hospitals.
