How smart use of data is revolutionizing the healthcare industry
Artificial intelligence, Big Data or IoT (Internet of Things) – we would be hard pressed to find a sector that doesn’t have these terms and the corresponding application options at the top of its agenda. The health sector is no exception, which will again be apparent at MEDICA in Düsseldorf, Germany. With over 5,000 exhibitors from 70 countries, MEDICA is the world’s leading medical trade fair, to be held from November 12 - 15, 2018. “Digital transformation is the key topic and we will look at it from various angles in our accompanying conferences as well as in the integrated forums, which are tailored to target groups,” explains Horst Giesen, Global Portfolio Director Health & Medical Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf, referring to the MEDICA HEALTH IT FORUM and the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM (including the MEDICA App COMPETITION). These forums alone attracted more than 8,000 visitors to Hall 15 at MEDICA’s last staging in 2017.
The discussions, presentations and speeches in these forums will focus on essential digitalization and IT trends such as opportunities to implement artificial intelligence, Big Data analysis via algorithms and cyber security measures. Innovative products and technology will be presented as well including wearable technologies, telehealth, robotics and apps.

At the MEDICA HEALTH IT FORUM, big data and artificial intelligence are on the program on the first day (November 12) from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Here, the focus lies on artificial intelligence at smart hospitals, from deep learning to process automation, but also in extending patient files.
Visitors can also get the updates on artificial intelligence, IoT and Big Data on November 13 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM. Here, IBM Watson Health will illustrate the progress in precision medicine using oncology as an example. Mateij Adam, IBM Watson Health, will explain how artificial intelligence supports this.
When man and machine become one
CorTec Neuro specializes in the interface between man and machine. “CorTec Brain Interchange ONE” connects the nervous system and artificial intelligence. This system can be completely implanted to record and stimulate on 32 channels and enables interaction with the nervous system in open and closed loop applications. This means it can primarily be used to battle neurological diseases and their symptoms, such as epilepsy and paralytic diseases. On November 13, Dr. Fabian Kohler from CorTec will explain the implanted brain-computer interface for researching closed loop therapy at the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM.
