Pilot project as the cornerstone of the Charité-Fraunhofer Centre for AI & Intelligent Sensing in Medicine

Charité and the Fraunhofer Society are collaborating on the development of artificial intelligence and sensor technology for the medical sector. At the Berlin site, innovative digital processes and technologies for clinical care are to be researched, developed and validated under real-world conditions in a practical setting.

The project comprises four core areas:

1. ‘Intelligent Data Stewards’: Enabling efficient data integration, quality assurance and annotation using reusable and clinically unambiguous data semantics
2. “Real-world AI Lab in Medicine” & “AI Factory”: Supporting the quality-assured collection and integration of real-world data, as well as the prospective application of AI solutions in clinical care
3. Sensor-based monitoring & automated therapy control in cardiology: Evaluation of sensor-based methods for monitoring and computer-assisted therapy control of patients with cardiovascular diseases
4. Patient-participatory, AI-driven, knowledge-generating systems approach: Development of a technology platform for utilising prospective, real-world oncological data and establishing a knowledge-generating, patient-participatory feedback loop from diagnosis through treatment to aftercare, based on the pilot project for adaptive therapy of tumours of the upper aerodigestive tract.
