3D printing enables the individual production of single pieces and small series at low cost. However, it also has a disadvantage: printing takes a relatively long time and it is not possible to produce several pieces in succession with a single printer. At the MEDICA START-UP PARK at MEDICA 2023, we met a company that automates 3D printing. Find out how in the interview with iFactory 3D GmbH.

Vincent Besnard, Software Development Manager, tells us about the recent developments in medical robotics from the point of view of BizLink. The company has been an expert for safe patient positioning during proton therapy for years now. At MEDICA 2023, they present their new robotic platform PULSAR.

Project MARCH, a student team from TU Delft, is developing exoskeleton technology to improve the lives of people with paraplegia. Through an interdisciplinary approach and a commitment to innovation, they create designs that combine advanced technology with practical functionality. As they came to MEDICA 2023 as an exhibitor, we took the opportunity to interview them.

Electric current and magnetic waves have long been used to treat various illnesses. One of the pioneers of this method is the Czech company Biomag Medical. Their devices produce pulsating magnetic waves that can be used to treat the target region in the body more precisely. We took the opportunity at MEDICA 2023 to find out more about this technology in our video interview.

Every year, the MEDICA START-UP PARK attracts a lot of visitors. Young, up-and-coming companies present their products here – often for the first time ever. This stand has already been the starting point for the success stories of some companies that are now internationally active. At MEDICA 2023, we are once again taking the opportunity to talk to promising start-ups.

The MEDICA START-UP COMPETITION at the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM is a highlight at MEDICA every year. After the award ceremony on Tuesday, we asked the three best-placed start-ups what the award means to them and what they plan to do now: ROPCA, Sidekick Health and MeMed Diagnostics.

A good night’s sleep is a personal experience, and Earable understands this well. Their FRENZ Brainband is a wearable driven by AI, designed to cater to your unique sleep requirements.

As this is Bambi Medical’s debut at MEDICA, we seized the opportunity to learn more about the Bambi Belt’s numerous advantages for babies, parents, and healthcare professionals.

They will change the entire field of AI: language models. Prof Dr Paul Lukowicz is convinced of this. In a healthcare system in which there is less and less time for the individual patient, as more and more time is needed for administration, they can provide relief. The AI expert explained how at the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key topic in today's technology landscape, especially in the healthcare sector. This is precisely where the HosmartAI project is focusing. The team behind the project spoke to us about their visions and goals.

To further drive the transformation of healthcare through AI, they were hosting a speed dating workshop on AI & Robotics. A unique opportunity for experts and interested parties to exchange ideas and develop solutions together.
