ongoing projects
Prof. Dr. Verena Klusmann-Weißkopf, Professor of Health Promotion and Prevention at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences, systematizes photographically collected images of old age from central life worlds using AI to counter negative stereotypes.
In the project, digital technologies and assistance systems are being developed to maintain or restore mobility in everyday life. These include mobility assistance robots, exoskeletons and intelligent training systems.
Two different assistance systems are being researched: Avatars and assistance robots. The aim is to enable seniors to communicate with remote relatives in their own homes as if they were there.
In the OriDarmi project, methods are being developed to study the physiological processes in intestinal wall-like cell assemblies in order to better understand the influence of drugs, food components, microorganisms or disease-causing substances on the intestine.
OrthoKI is researching an orthotic fitting optimized with AI methods. The sensor-based splint attached to the foot is intended to optimize the therapy of patients with foot dorsiflexion whose ability to walk is limited.
At the CZS Centre SynGen, experts from the Universities of Heidelberg and Mainz and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology are researching the use of new DNA synthesis and artificial intelligence technologies for revolutionary future applications in biotechnology and medicine.
Funding is provided for the establishment of a CZS Endowed Professorship in Artificial Intelligence in Neural Systems Imaging. The professorship will advance the development of AI-based methods for systemic neuroscience.
In the EasyVectorOmics project, Prof. Dr. Asis Hallab, professor of applied bioinformatics at the Bingen University of Applied Sciences, uses vector analysis to compare the expression of related genes in order to identify important gene functions.
At the interface between physics, biotechnology and engineering, EndoPrint3D aims to surgically repair organ damage in the body in a minimally invasive manner. This is done by means of endoscopic micro-3D printing of biological tissue.
The Ultrasens-Vir project is researching new methods for the diagnosis of viral diseases. The aim is to develop a new diagnostic method based on the application of fluorescent nanodiamonds.
