Our PhD student Joshua Steyer was recently interviewed on “Nachgefragt – Wissen, wie’s läuft”, the science podcast by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In this episode, Joshua talks about how to model the heart, particularly at the microscale, as well as the current challenges in realising such realistic simulations.

De Gruyter Brill

A new book chapter co-authored by our team has been published in Ethical Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering (De Gruyter Brill). The chapter explores ethical challenges surrounding the development and deployment of AI in biomedical technologies, highlighting the importance of uncertainty awareness in healthcare innovation.

KIT-IBT

Our new review article on artificial intelligence in cardiovascular medicine has been published. The paper outlines methodological foundations and highlights applications in imaging and ECG analysis, including deep learning for functional assessment and disease prediction. It also addresses generative AI, implementation challenges, and ethical considerations. The article is available in German.
