Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS

Artificial intelligence and adaptive algorithms – in medicine, these are gaining increasing importance. Speaker programs at international conventions also reflect this trend by focusing more and more on possible applications of this new technology. One example is the Medical Imaging conference hosted by the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), which will take place in San Diego, California, from February 16 to 21. At this renowned convention, the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS will be represented by a number of experts who will provide insight into deep learning.

The second year in a row, the work of Fraunhofer MEVIS was recognized by the scientific documentary industry at the Raw Science Film Festival held on January 26 in Los Angeles, CA.

Exactly 10 years after joining the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, on 1 January 2019, the former Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS changes its official name to Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS is one of the most prestigious research facilities of its kind. At four locations in Bremen, Lübeck, Berlin, and Aachen, the institute develops innovative software systems that support doctors in their daily routine, from heart diagnostics and tumor therapy to big data analysis for large-scale studies. Now, the institute’s main facility in Bremen will move into a new home. The cornerstone for the building will be laid at 11 o’clock on December 5, 2018. Starting in autumn 2020, it will provide a communicative and creative working environment for the MEVIS team.
