Future implants are expected to do more than simply support or replace bodily functions. They should be able to respond to their environment, detect changes and help identify and prevent potential complications at an early stage. How can such intelligent implants be developed, and what new possibilities could they offer for medicine? These are the key questions explored in the talk “Hightech im Körper – Wie intelligente Implantate Leben verbessern”
Prof. Dr. Meike Stiesch and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Philipp Junker will present insights into current research and developments within our research consortium SIIRI. Their joint talk will highlight how different scientific disciplines contribute to the future of implant technology. While medicine, dentistry, engineering and the natural sciences provide the foundations for developing intelligent implants, the social sciences investigate how trust in and acceptance of these technologies develop. In this way, SIIRI combines technological innovation with the question of what it takes for patients to embrace and accept new implant solutions.
