TUM4HealthTech

Due to demographic change and the increasing multimorbidity of the population, the healthcare system is being confronted with an increasing number of patients. At the same time, the number of medical professionals is decreasing, which further increases the burden on the healthcare system. The aim of the research project TUM4HealthTech is to optimize existing processes in the inpatient clinical area through a comprehensive integration of innovative technologies and thereby relieving staff. Since the successful use of new technologies often fails due to the general conditions, TUM4HealthTech will examine current processes and infrastructure in the hospital and, if necessary, adapt them to enable the use of robotic and digital assistance systems. The interaction between people and technology is in particular focus. Based on the analysis results, concrete assistance concepts will be developed and then installed directly at the “University Hospital rechts der Isar”.
