Research | ASTRUM IT

We do not have to. But we want to. We have already contributed with our skills to numerous research projects for the healthcare and medical engineering sectors. And in doing so, we have newly developed cutting-edge technologies for networking and the exchange of medical data together with our partners and supporters.

Overview of Our Research Projects

Digitales-Forschungsprojekt-des-Bundesministeriums

CMLB

Ongoing Project

In the research project CMLB sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research within the framework of the small- and medium-sized enterprises KMU-innovativ program for product research, an innovative condition monitoring system for damage monitoring in swiveling large roller bearings has been developed.

ERIK – Biomechatronics Software

Ongoing project

Since 2018, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research has been sponsoring the research project termed ERIK: the development of a robot platform to support new interaction strategies of children with limited socio-emotional abilities.

Sensor-Based Motion Analysis

Completed project

The research project eGaIT is supported by the Bavarian Research Foundation: We develop computer-aided biometric gait analysis for it.

Cross-Sectoral Medication Plan

Completed project

The Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Media, Energy and Technology launched this project in 2013. In this context, we networked the Klinikum Fürth hospital and the Doctors’ Association of Middle Franconia for the mutual transfer of medication data.

IT Networking of Healthcare Providers

Completed project

Within the framework of the leading-edge cluster cooperation Medical Valley in the European Metropolitan Region of Nuremberg (Medical Valley Europäische Metropolregion Nürnberg), we develop a communication platform for networking medical information systems in the registered coverage area together with MEDITALK.

Focal points

Data Privacy

Protection of sensitive personal data in a medical environment is a core issue that is reflected in all our projects. With the support of specialist advisers, we develop sophisticated processes to prevent unauthorized access to the data subject to protection. That is how our software is created true to the motto “Privacy by Design”, i.e., the fundamental data privacy law-related requirements are already incorporated in the software architecture.

Multi-Professional Networking

As we work with very different issues, we highly value the advantage of close networking with all cooperation partners. The exchange of know-how among all players from the medical, industrial, and scientific fields is a matter of course for us. That way, we resolutely bring the technologies and methods jointly developed in the project to maturity. Being a supplier for the manufacturers of medical devices, we have been certified according to the quality management standard EN ISO 13485.
