Insights into digital medicine at Informatica Feminale
As part of its activities to promote young talent, Fraunhofer MEVIS once again offered a course at this year's Informatica Feminale for female practitioners from all disciplines with an interest in medicine, computer science, and mathematics.
Data-Efficient Foundation Model for Biomarker Detection
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems shows promise in medicine, where
they can be used to detect diseases earlier, improve treatments, and ease staff
workloads. But their performance depends on how well the AI is trained. A new
multi-task approach to training AI makes it possible to train foundation models
quicker and more cost-effectively, with less data. Researchers are turning to this
approach to compensate for the shortage of data in medical imaging — and ultimately
save lives.
Giving society a better idea of the importance of mathematics for innovation and our everyday lives and making the best possible use of mathematical results are the goals of the sustainable model region for industrial mathematics (MOIN) in Bremen, Bremerhaven, and the district of Osterholz. The aim is to establish industrial mathematics as a driver of innovation in business and industry, raise public awareness of industrial mathematics, and make maths in schools attractive again. The transfer project has now been honored with the NordWest Award 2024 from the Metropolitan Region Northwest.
Kick-off event at Fraunhofer MEVIS for the trial run of the “Digital Medicine” specialization at the Oberschule am Waller Ring
Starting with the 2025/26 school year in summer 2025, there will be a new offer for Bremen students at the secondary school Oberschule am Waller Ring, which has a health focus: recently, the school authorities approved the “Digital Medicine” specialization. It sheds light on the part of medicine that addresses the question of how digital methods can improve healthcare. The role of imaging techniques and the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) are prominent examples. The profile is offered in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS. The first trial run is now starting at the MEVIS partner school Oberschule am Waller Ring (formerly part of the Walle school center). It enables interested students to take a look at the future professional fields of medicine.
