Interactive technology for medical assistance in medicine and care

High-tech assistance systems can be experienced in the "Interactive Assistance in Medicine and Care" showroom of WG "Medical Assistance Systems" and WG "Interactive Robotics in Medicine and Care" of the Faculty of Medicine. In addition to commercial products, current research prototypes are also presented in changing exhibitions.

The aim of the showroom is to familiarise visitors with a wide range of different technical support systems, enable them to try them out and thus break down barriers.

There will be changing exhibits on the areas of "prevention", "everyday assistance", "rehabilitation and therapy". We also provide insights into the explainability of decision support systems and the development of prototypes using co-design.

If you are interested in Visiting the Showroom either as a company, a school class or just by yourself, you can schedule a visit via our contact form.

Research prototypes

The virtual assistant Flobi for the therapy of children with ADHD. In human-human interaction, it has been shown that an intensive, effective behavioural therapy training programme for children and adolescents with ADHD (the Summer Camp) has a lasting effect. The main feature of the training programme is an intensive response cost intervention (RCI).

There will be insights into the co-design of a support for the
evening routine
in paediatric and adolescent psychiatry, in which Pepper tells stories. The project follows an agile participatory development approach in which clinical staff, patients and developers jointly design the behaviour of robots

An assistance system helps you to learn how to solve the first
rows of a Rubik's cube yourself.
