This week for the second time the symposium "Daten statt raten" took place - a top-class event about virtual clinical studies, simulation and data analytics in medical technology by MedicalMountains GmbH. 

Exiting insights were presented on the following topics, among others: 

• Simulation in Cardiology 
  Dr. Nils Karajan presented how the positioning and opening of artificial heart valves can be simulated. 
  
  
• Personalized Implants
  Dr. Ronja Schierjott-Hermle from Aesculap emphasized that simulations help to make substantiated decisions in joint replacement operations.
  However, access to pathological data remains a challenge. 
• Cleaning Simulations
  Michael Ehlen: Expert knowledge from simulation technology and medical technology is crucial for realistic models. 
• AI in Sports Medicine 
  Prof. Christophe Ley showed how AI can predict injuries - using wearables as a data source. 

Challenges and Future Perspectives: 

• Standardized data is essential for the development of better models 
• Best Practices need to be shared to drive progress faster
• AI and simulations will make revolutionary leaps in the next 10-15 years

Particularly impressive: 

In addition to the specialist presentations, a microphone thrown around and embedded in a foam cube was used for an interactive discussion round. 

Conclusion:

Close cooperation between companies, universities and regulatory authorities is needed to advance simulation technologies in medical technology.
The future is promising!
