We are developing the medical technology of tomorrow.
In interdisciplinary teams from clinic, industry and science, we research and develop solutions and technologies for image-guided minimally invasive medicine.
Our aim are innovative, patient-friendly, high-quality and specifically required diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for diseases in oncology, neurology and cardiology. To this end, clinicians define the need and interdisciplinary teams research and develop customised solutions that are tested and integrated into patient treatment.
Our vision is to improve healthcare of today and tomorrow as a research and innovation centre for image-based medicine.
The public-private partnership is formed by Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Siemens Healthineers AG and the STIMULATE Association with over 40 members from the medical technology industry and science.
How do mechanical engineering and medical engineering complement each other in MRI hardware development?
In the latest We are STIMULATE interview, Bodo Gambal and Robert Selinger share insights into their work at OVGU and Magdeburg-based MRI manufacturer Neoscan Solutions. expertise complements each other in medical hardware development.
Python programming course for (medical) students. Since May 2024, learn free of charge and independent of time in order to later be able to implement applications for processing large amounts of data in medicine.
