Abstract:
Healthcare institutions suffer from a considerable undersupply of employees as well as from a lack of sufficient infrastructure and equipment. The project MedWaveImage tackles this growing challenge by transferring cutting-edge technologies from near-by universities to hospitals. The partners focus especially on the potentials of microwave imaging, which can be used to develop portable and cost-effective devices for treating diseases like breast cancer and monitoring brain tissues after stroke. Their newly developed devices will be tested in hospitals with specific medical expertise.
