Surgery, imaging and medical robotics

One of the most prominent trends at MEDICA is surgery and medical robotics. Robotics has revolutionized the way surgeries are performed, leading to faster recovery times, less pain, and more precise procedures. Surgeons can now use robots to perform complex operations with greater accuracy and control, leading to better patient outcomes.

AI and big data in the laboratory

A lot of data is generated in the laboratory – not only when it comes to diagnostics, but also in research and clinical studies. With existing methods, we can hardly structure and use these data volumes. This makes it all the more important to use algorithms that search for patterns in the data for us and thus help us find the answers we are looking for.

Disposables and more

Healthcare is known to be one of the largest consumers of resources ever. This for example concerns the classic consumables that are used in diagnostics, treatment and patient care day after day. These are irrevocably disposed of after use, as they must be incinerated for hygienic reasons. But is there no other way?

mHealth

mHealth, or mobile health, is another important trend at MEDICA. The use of mobile devices and apps in healthcare has made it easier for patients to monitor their health and communicate with their doctors. mHealth has also enabled doctors to deliver care remotely, which is particularly important in remote or underserved areas.

Start-ups

We know them from tech magazines, from conferences or from TV: Start-ups – entrepreneurs who bring a new product to market. In medicine, they often come directly from research or practice and bring an idea that can solve a problem in everyday clinical practice.
