Reference projects of Fraunhofer IESE

Apoplex Medical Technologies, based in Pirmasens, Germany, is a specialized service provider for cloud-based applications that support clinics and medical practices in the early detection of stroke risks. With automated ECG data analysis, Apoplex enables medical professionals to identify risks at an early stage and take targeted preventive measures. The solutions are flexible and available at any time, making preventive work easier in everyday clinical practice.

Tumor-targeted drug therapy is an important part of the treatment of cancer and malignant blood diseases. Many chemotherapy regimens usually combine several active substances, and complex protocols may contain three or more substances. The individual substances are each associated with side effects. These require specific concomitant and supportive therapy. In addition to anti-tumor therapy, prophylactic drugs are integrated into the protocol as essential supportive therapy.

In the lighthouse project “RNAuto”, seven Fraunhofer Institutes are collaborating to develop automated production technologies for mRNA-based medicinal products. The consortium bundles interdisciplinary competencies from the fields of medicine, biology, and engineering sciences.

The goal of the project SODIAPH, which is conducted within the framework of the Center for Digital Diagnostics (ZDD), is to identify and classify digital data discontinuities and data continuity (interoperability) in real patient processes in clinical and settled MD settings.

In a project carried out within the framework of the Center for Digital Diagnostics (ZDD), Fraunhofer IESE is conducting research together with its project partners on an ecosystem for health data in rural areas.

Sartorius Lab Instruments GmbH & Co. KG is working with Fraunhofer IESE to develop a future-proof production architecture with Asset Administration Shells and Eclipse BaSyx.

Fraunhofer IESE supports the Bertelsmann Stiftung in designing a Digital Ecosystem for Healthcare, the “Trusted Health Ecosystem”.

In the project SATURN, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Health, Fraunhofer IESE is collaborating with its project partners to research methods for using AI technologies from the areas of rule-based systems and machine learning for traceable and transparent decision support / tentative diagnosis in the context of unclear diseases.

Fitness trackers are becoming increasingly popular when it comes to promoting a healthier lifestyle and more effective training. Ever more compact sensors that are worn on the body, so-called wearables, can record data such as step count, pulse, oxygen saturation, or skin conductance and thus provide indicators of physical and mental stress. In the working environment, too, wearables can help to reduce stress and physical overload or improve occupational safety. However, self-measurement must not violate privacy, but must respect the right to informational self-determination. In the joint project “WearPrivate”, an interdisciplinary team under the leadership of Fraunhofer IESE is investigating how wearables can be used in the work context for health protection in such a way that employees retain control over their data.

Reference Project ATMP: Fraunhofer institutes concepts for the digital, AI-assisted, robot-assisted and automated production of drugs such as cell and gene therapeutics as well as vaccines.
