The most up-to-date level of mobile monitoring
Starting at 11 am on November 19, the MCHF will focus on mobile monitoring to improve healthcare at home and in hospitals. Biovotion, for example, uses the medically certified Everion 22 solution to measure various vital parameters such as heart rate, heart rate variability, temperature, oxygen saturation, movement intensity and the quality of sleep. This innovation has already been adopted by pharmaceutical company Mundipharma in developing their digital platform, Painfocus. The result is a combination of Biovotion’s Everion with an AI-based health analysis platform that uses machine learning and combines several physiological biomarkers to calculate the existence and level of pain. The system, which consists of an app and hardware, can capture, monitor and analyze the data that is created by the patient and can then share this data with care staff in real time via a web-based dashboard. This provides exact details on a patient’s health condition, including the level of pain and general physiology – which is particularly invaluable when it comes to patients who are no longer responsive.

Among other topics, the same session will also take a closer look at new solutions in the remote treatment of patients and monitoring their movement activities for physiotherapy clinics and orthopedic hospitals

In the afternoon of November 19, the 8th MEDICA App COMPETITION will take place on the MCHF stage to find the world’s best health app solution. Starting at 1:00 pm., ten finalists, who have been selected in advance, will compete in their final pitch. More information will be available at https://www.medica.de/mac1 end of October. The competition will be followed by , the HEALTH ACCELERATOR REVERSE PITCH, where companies such as Bayer G4A, Merck and Roche Diagnostics will present their funding programs for start-ups.

How can we satisfy artificial intelligence’s need for data?
When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, a large amount of reliable data is both a requirement and the foundation – in a nutshell: Big Data. At 11 am on November 20, Thorsten Gau, Chief Technology Officer Healthcare and Life Sciences at IBM Europe, will explain how connections and data from various sources can contribute to improving healthcare. This will be followed by Tiasha Renganathan, Head of Wearable Tech at MAS Innovation, who will take a look at how textiles can be used to capture health parameters. How should experts in the health care industry handle the increasing amount of data? Markus Meier, Market Director Life Sciences at PTC, will explain how augmented reality can help them make the most of Big Data and use this as a basis for therapy decisions.
