Digital applications and artificial intelligence are transforming our healthcare system, impacting medicine, nursing and medical biotechnology. New opportunities are opening up almost every day, enabling medical staff to make better diagnoses, provide personalised treatment and identify the causes of illnesses. Human-technology interaction is also playing an increasingly important role in this. Where do these technologies work well and where do they reach their limits?

Researchers at BHT are setting new standards with their work on machine learning, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications, humanoid robots and smart microscopes. They will present their latest research findings at Research and Transfer Day 2025.
