Innovation Forum Medical Technology 2024

Visit us and our colleague Thomas Eichmann at the Innovation Forum Medical Technology on October 17, 2024 in Tuttlingen.

As a speaker he will present: AI in MedTech: Why some companies are hitting the ground running and others are taking a wait-and-see approach.

BioNTech SE is said to have invested 410 million euros to buy an entire company specializing in AI development. The aim: to drive forward the company's own AI-based drug research. AI systems have long been performing a wide variety of tasks around the world. They process tedious routine tasks, learn independently, prevent errors and discover valuable, complex information that humans would not have found at all or only after years of work.

AI is also being used in medtech. The MDR, IVDR and the new EU AI Act provide a tight regulatory framework here. A look at the current FDA statistics shows that of the approximately 700 AIs that have now been certified, image-based AIs are used almost exclusively. Why is that? Are there no other economically viable applications in the industry? Or is an entire industry currently oversleeping its future?

As a specialized software development partner, infoteam Software AG would like to invite you to a presentation that approaches the topic of AI in MedTech from two sides: Regulated software development according to MDR/ IVDR sheds light on the development of regulated AI. Software development in data science comes from the world of statistical methods and AI systems. Together we will talk about the fact that only a few established technologies are needed to develop an individual AI. Furthermore, companies can already take the first steps now to enable future AIs but also to broaden horizons.

 

Thomas Eichmann is looking forward to your visit!
