CHANGE STARTS WITH US.
Are you interested in innovative medical technology? At the Fraunhofer Institute for Individualized and Cell-Based Medical Technology IMTE, we develop medical devices for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Through our open, diverse, and inclusive research culture, we promote innovation by incorporating different perspectives and experiences. We offer a unique portfolio of services for the medical device industry, covering the entire development process – from basic research to device construction. What innovative health technology would you like to help us develop?
As an innovative and unique research institution, Fraunhofer IMTE develops intelligent systems and processes for health in the fields of medical technology, cell technology and aquaculture. The focus is on the safe translation of these solutions into beneficial applications for a healthy society. With a cycle of prevention, diagnostics, therapy and rehabilitation, we are redefining the concept of circular health and creating ideal conditions for the individualization of health technologies.
The Individualized Therapy department deals specifically with questions and research projects on targeted therapy optimization. The aim is to make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions faster, more reliable and more precise. The development and translation into the application of assistance functions for doctors, optimized imaging procedures and improved training of surgeons are just some of the diverse tasks. Digitalization and automation increase the efficiency of therapy systems and thus patient safety. In rehabilitation, AI-supported analyses and tracking open up new possibilities for monitoring the course of therapy and individualized rehabilitation.
