Medical Assistance Systems

In October, we welcomed three different groups of visitors to our "Interactive assistance technologies in medicine and care" showroom.

The first group was made up of social work students from Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences on 15 October. They were particularly interested in therapeutic applications and the question of how interactive assistance systems can support people in their everyday social and healthcare lives.

On 21 October, as in the previous year, the new trainees followed as part of their welcome days. The new trainees took the opportunity to familiarise themselves with technical support systems and try them out for themselves - there was particularly positive feedback on virtual training with VR glasses and the robot seal Paro.

The very next day, 22 October, a group of occupational therapists visited us and we introduced them to the NAO robot, among other things. The robot's tutorials (in connection with lecture/seminar) for robot-assisted sports therapy were developed together with physiotherapists, resulting in an exciting professional exchange about possible applications and therapeutic perspectives.

We were also able to present our showroom to our research guest Matthias Rehm at the end of October.

We are delighted with the continued interest and the stimulating discussions. A big thank you to everyone who visited us in October!
