Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Digital Health Details
The Else Kröner Fresenius Center (EKFZ) for Digital Health, is a joint cross-faculty initiative of the Technische Universität Dresden, the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden along with several partners on the Dresden campus. Whereas conventionally the Schools of Medicine and Engineering work and research independently, the EKFZ bundles their expertise and brings Medicine and High Tech together through its interdisciplinary structure and network. Driven by a clear medical need and with direct access to the medical infrastructure, the EKFZ accelerates digitization in medicine for the benefit of the patient.The EKFZ channels its research effort on the direct interface of the digital world to the patient thereby serving as a bridge between medical big data efforts and traditional biomedical engineering. We do research in various fields of digital health such as robotics, implants, sensors, medical devices and connected care and are always looking for new and exciting ideas and concepts! Our focus is on providing strategic development areas, strengthened by specific professorships, which deepen the scientific infrastructure and theoretical basics. These competencies are the basis for successful translation of high-tech innovation into routine care.
