Saving lives through intelligent systems
Pacemakers, computer tomography and ultrasound - medical engineering products are often life-saving for patients and can significantly improve their quality of life. The medical technology sector is booming not only in Germany but also worldwide, due to the aging population, which at the same time is increasing the demand for medical engineering products.
The technologies developed help physicians to carry out their work and help to accelerate the healing process of the patient.
