Driven by a clear medical need and with direct access to the medical infrastructure, the EKFZ accelerates digitization in medicine for the benefit of the patient. The EKFZ channels its research effort on the direct interface of the digital world to the patient thereby serving as a bridge between medical big data efforts and traditional biomedical engineering. We do research in various fields of digital health such as robotics, implants, sensors, medical devices and connected care and are always looking for new and exciting ideas ...
