[08/01/2010] Today serious sport and disability do not exclude themselves anymore. Athletes with prostheses can achieve quite similar results in competitions as their colleagues without artificial bodily parts – thanks to modern technology. However, in future prostheses could do even more. „Further Optimising the Natural Motion Sequence“ - read more
„A Cost-Benefit Analysis Has Not Been Prepared Yet”

[22/09/2009] If one needs a goldfish for its aquarium, one needs a plastic bag full of water for transport. This is similar to the medical procedure involved when heart, kidney or liver from organ donors need to get to the intensive care patient. However, there is one serious problem limiting transport: the time. „A Cost-Benefit Analysis Has Not Been Prepared Yet” - read more
„It Is the Extension of the Surgeon”

[22/06/2009] Robotic minimally invasive surgery slowly captures our operating theatres. Originally developed by the U.S. Army to operate on war victims from afar, they might be increasingly used in thoracic surgery, urology and gynaecology as they promise more precision. „It Is the Extension of the Surgeon” - read more
"It Is just not Possible to Use Screws on the Micro-Level"

[22/04/2009] Everything is getting ever smaller. But how can experts still join those tiniest parts together? A special field offers a solution - micro-bonding. "It Is just not Possible to Use Screws on the Micro-Level" - read more
„There Is no Need to Outline any Horror Scenarios“

[08/01/2009] Juice in the head: Neuroprosthetics which are connected to nerve endings in the brain electrically stimulate certain brain regions. Thus, the implants are supposed to reduce the effects of Parkinson’s or to help with depressions or the Tourette syndrome. Nevertheless, many people feel uneasy about the idea that a machine perches in their head possibly influencing their behaviour. „There Is no Need to Outline any Horror Scenarios“ - read more
„We Want to Achieve Something on the Market “
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[08/12/2008] Growing markets, more and more jobs – these are just two attributes describing medical technology. Making sure that the situation remains like this, the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) supports the innovation potential of the sector with a special competition that honors the winners with an award for innovation. „We Want to Achieve Something on the Market “ - read more
„The Patient Must Remain in Charge of Its Data“
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[08/10/2008] A chip - hanging down from the wrist or being inserted in the arm – contains data related to the person or its medical history. This sounds like a futuristic vision but some hospitals in the USA have made it come true. The intention: a better treatment for the patients and more efficient localisation of doctors. In Europe, RFID and health care are connected only in research projects so far. „The Patient Must Remain in Charge of Its Data“ - read more
