Brain City Berlin recently interview Dr. Petra Ritter about the TEF-Health Project. The interview in German can be read here. You can find an English version of the interview here.
Robots assist in the operating room, monitoring systems help to detect diseases earlier and medically monitor chronic diseases: Artificial Intelligence is increasingly being used in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and laboratories. It supports workflows in the healthcare sector and makes care more efficient. But how secure and trustworthy are such AI-based applications? There are currently hardly any standardised processes and infrastructures for testing and validating such products adequately under real-life conditions. However, this is now also mandatory at European level for the health sector. This is where TEF-Health comes in, a cross-border “Test and Experimentation Facility for Health AI and Robotics.” Prof. Dr. Petra Ritter, Head of the “Brain Simulation Section” at the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, coordinates the consortium. In the Brain City interview, she gives an insight into the TEF-Health project.
