`Molecular tests are pivotal in combating the COVID-19 pandemic`
The central laboratory of the Niels-Stensen-Kliniken group in Osnabrück wasted no time in setting up its own test facilities for the molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2. We spoke with Michael Erren, MD, Head of the Institute for Laboratory Medicine about his strategy and the importance of diagnostic molecular testing in fighting the pandemic.

The Optimization Between Nursing Workload and Patient Care
The collection and management of critical data for diagnostic decision is an essential task of daily routine of nurses. This demands a lot of time what is then missing for an optimal patient satisfaction. At the Bumrungrad International Hospital an innovative technology offers nurses a relief in workload to spend more time in patient care and safety.

Ein Licht auf unsichtbaren Strukturen

Robotic technology is finding its way into the cath lab
Below, we provide key facts about using robotics during a coronary intervention. Find out how today’s physicians are using the technology to work more accurately and gently – and why, for Siemens Healthineers, bringing Corindus into its portfolio was not just something close to their heart.

"I feel like I'm having a stroke!" - Zosia, 14
Stroke patients do not always have a history of pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure or heart failure, or do not always meet the criteria for a stroke. They can be of every age and have any unremarkable medical history. Zosia, a 14-year-old student from Michigan, USA, is one of them.

Heart of glass: Preparing surgery the virtual way
In Erlangen, pediatric cardiologist Muhannad Alkassar, MD, and his team use an augmented reality prototype to prepare quickly and with maximum accuracy the most complex heart surgeries. The mixed-reality HoloLens device visualizes CT scans in photorealistic 3D to represent even the tiniest detail.

Zooming in on the Brain’s Microarchitecture to Better Understand Diseases
Scientists at the University of Göttingen have developed a special type of X-ray imaging that offers unprecedented insights into the fine structure of nerve cells. In an interview on location, the researchers explain how the virtual study of brain tissue could lead to a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and to new diagnostic applications.

Immediate diagnostics for trauma patients in rural Ghana
At Holy Family Hospital in Techiman, an improved emergency department and the only CT scanner within hundreds of kilometers are crucial for saving the lives of road accident victims – and dealing with SARS-CoV-2. The project is a blueprint for how health care business models in countries with limited resources can work.

The MRI at 50 – what lies ahead?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard of imaging diagnostics in many medical fields. But it is still far from always being readily available – even where it would be the best option. Technological progress is rapid. The next generation MRI could look very different.

What’s that knocking?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been part of routine medical practice for years. The big tubes produce fascinating images. No wonder that MRI is seen as the crowning glory of diagnostics. But how exactly does it work? What’s so special about it? We answer twelve questions to give a better idea.

Der digitale Wandel

Artificial intelligence in healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will transform medicine across all disciplines. Today, AI already supports remote monitoring, simplifies imaging, helps radiologists in making more informed clinical decisions, and facilitates therapeutic decisions. It could become an indispensable tool in all fields of healthcare.

Mannheim University Hospital uses telemedicine solution for its own healthcare professionals
The teamplay myCare Companion telemedicine solution was originally developed to care for patients with chronic diseases like heart failure, COPD, and diabetes. Its main purpose is to provide convenience and safety for patients.

How Artificial Intelligence Might Personalize Healthcare
Our column “Point of View” picks up trends and developments in healthcare. In this edition, Greg Freiherr focuses on how natural language processing enables the next level of AI in healthcare.

Digitalization improves healthcare outcomes in Asia
Technology is helping Asian countries take quality healthcare to the remotest of areas. In India, where the government is rolling out a program to offer universal healthcare coverage, providers are leveraging digitalization to offer affordable medical care to the poorest members of society.

How Finland is leading the digital healthcare revolution
In our new episode with Managing Board member Christoph Zindel, Päivi Sillanaukee, MD, Director General at the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, explains how the healthcare model in Finland operates, what kind of infrastructure it requires, and how this actually encouraged digital innovation from its inception.

SitePlanner Mobile: Innovative solutions to improve patient experience – right from the start.
Augmented reality today not only gives us a virtual impression of real organs and thus helps in the preparation of operations - 3D visualization of prospective operating rooms and the distribution of systems in medical centers could also be a key to improving the patient experience even before going to the appointment.
