Intelligent Lung Support System For Acute Respiratory Failure

AI to Improve Ventilation for COVID-19 Patients

Intensive care patients with acute respiratory failure usually need support of lung function, which is accomplished with mechanical ventilation and, in most severe cases, extracorporeal gas-exchange. Although mechanical ventilation is a life-saving therapy, it has the potential to worsen lung injury and impair the haemodynamics.
Currently, there are different strategies to protect the lungs from injury by the ventilator. Yet, settings may differ substantially regarding to the mechanical energy transferred to lungs, and its distribution across the parenchyma. Variables at the ventilator and extracorporeal lung support device can be set automatically using optimization functions and clinical recommendations, but the handling of experts may still deviate from those settings depending upon clinical characteristics of individual patients. Artificial intelligence can be used to learn from those deviations as well as the patient’s condition in an attempt to improve the combination of settings and accomplish lung support with reduced risk of damage.
The project proposed herein aims at developing a hybrid mechanical ventilator/extracorporeal lung support device, where elements communicate wireless, using artificial intelligence-based algorithms to improve the care of invasively mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory failure.

A voice assistant platform “Made in Germany”

Voice assistants are a core technology for human-machine communication and provide natural-language access to products and services. The market for voice assistant solutions has so far been dominated by U.S. and Asian companies. The demand for voice assistant solutions in German industry and business is enormous; particularly with regard to data sovereignty, there is a need to better protect personal data and exchange it securely. A German voice assistant solution makes this possible by implementing European data security standards. At the same time, it enables a new level of quality in human-machine communication that goes far beyond the semantic capabilities of current systems, making it significantly more user-friendly.

AI4Mobile

AI-Powered Mobile Communication Systems for Mobility in Industry and Transportation

AI4Mobile develops AI methods that incorporate mobile communications expertise to meet the requirements of mobile networks. AI is becoming an integral part of existing and future mobile network architectures.

The focus is on future mobility applications such as autonomous connected driving and mobile robotics in highly dynamic production environments. A key element is the provision of end-to-end prediction of critical quality-of-service parameters (e.g., data rate, latency), as well as proactive resource optimization and networking based on these predictions across all parts of the mobile network infrastructure.
