MeDiTwin/Parkinson’s
At the trade show, Fraunhofer IGD is presenting its work as part of ATHENE, in particular the research area Secure Digital Transformation in Healthcare (SeDeTraH). A key project is MeDiTwin, a medical digital twin that gives patients secure access to their health data and strengthens their data sovereignty. Fraunhofer IGD is currently developing an interactive web application for Parkinson’s patients that visualizes disease progression and provides data-driven decision support. The goal is to improve quality of life and drive digital transformation in healthcare through user-friendly technologies.
Support for Medical Decision-Making
When it comes to accessing their own medical data, patients still face many barriers. Although electronic health records provide the basic capability for digital access, the user interfaces are too complex and cumbersome. At the ATHENE research center, Fraunhofer IGD and SIT are working on secure and interactive technologies that provide a simple overview of a person’s data, allow them to view this medical data visually and interactively, and release the required data to medical institutions in a targeted and traceable manner. The booth will demonstrate these new interactive capabilities and explain the underlying data security approach.
Caring for patients at home or in emergency situations requires new methods for measuring their vital data if no dedicated technology is available. Similarly, the telemedical measurement of individual stress and strain as part of occupational or personal health management with everyday technology is an enabler for healthy working. With the CareCam and Guardio technologies, two methods for the contactless measurement and use of vital data for telemedical application scenarios will be presented.
To support workplace health promotion, the CareCam uses continuous, unobtrusive monitoring of vital data such as pulse, breathing, heart rate variability, posture, eye blinking and even stress detection. The technology and expertise of the CareCam is currently being further developed in the STRAP industry project in cooperation with DeepCare, with the challenge of measuring stress and vital data detection based on anonymous and energy-saving sensor information. The Guardio® app transforms the movements of the heart into the gold standard of cardiac diagnostics: the electrocardiogram (ECG) - simply by placing the smartphone on the chest.
