The spin-off Plain Medical has emerged from the long-standing collaboration between the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS and the Radboud University Medical Center (UMC). Based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, the company began operations in the summer of 2025. Its mission is to accelerate routine radiological tasks through intelligent automation and to pave the way for a new generation of AI-driven diagnostics. In doing so, it aims to address the growing shortage of radiology professionals in Europe and to relieve the burden on clinical staff.
Fraunhofer MEVIS welcomes Gregory Alliss to the STEAM Imaging VI residency programme: “Resonant Connections through Design and Data.” The glass artist and engineer will be a guest at Fraunhofer, where he will focus his creative work on glass, the world of MR scanners, data, and design.
