MEDICA will again enjoy great popularity in 2019. For our photo gallery, we asked some of the more than 120,000 visitors why they are here, since when they have visited the leading trade fair for medical technology and what they particularly appreciate about MEDICA.
Read in our photo gallery what our visitors like about MEDICA!

Motors for motor skills – Robotics in rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is hard work – for the patient as well as for the therapist. Thousands of repetitions are necessary in order for previously known movement sequences to solidify again in the brain. This requires enormous physical effort and a lot of concentration. At MEDICA 2019 we will find out to what extent robotics can help here!

Hightech solutions for hygiene, disinfection and sterilisation

Hightech solutions for hygiene in the medical sector have been getting better and faster. There are not only machines that can disinfect everything by themselves, but there are portable and handy sterilisation solutions as well. At MEDICA 2019 you can find everything that is up-and-coming around medical hygiene.

For a strong back – Interview with Spine Care Technologies

Anyone sitting too long, working at a computer or moving the wrong way has to deal with them regularly: back pain. At MEDICA 2019, Spine Care Technologies is presenting an alternative to conventional pharmaceuticals.

Well-tried in vitro medical diagnostics – Interview with Institut Virion\Serion GmbH

3D imagery thanks to AI – Interview with MEDICAL IP

Huge amounts of data are produced daily in imaging. In order to get these under control, more and more use is being made of Artificial Intelligence. Why it can make the work of physicians easier, especially when it comes to medical images, we will find out at the stand of MEDICAL IP at MEDICA 2019!

One-stop shop for diagnostics – Interview with Diatron MI Zrt.

Smart Hospital – the hospital of the future

Even though, visitors can learn more about hippotherapy that is aimed at patients with neurological deficits – for example through MS or in rehabilitation after stroke. Better yet, they can take a seat at a horseback themselves. This is possible thanks to “hirob” here at the stand of the intelligent motion GmbH from Austria.
