Bringing AI to Cardiac Medicine

Researchers at the University of Siegen are training AI systems to improve the analysis of long-term ECGs. They aim to support physicians in the fast and reliable analysis of heart data directly at the medical practice. The project is funded with roughly seven million euros.

GAiST project: Self-determined living in old age through smart home technology

Smart assistance for senior citizens: The University of Siegen is part of the GAiST project, which is researching how the use of medical vital data measuring devices in combination with state-of-the-art sensor technology can help older people to live independently and age-appropriately in their own homes for a long time.

About our working group

Brief presentation of our topics

“We transform data into information and then into knowledge: by combining graph-based structures with artificial intelligence methods, we make knowledge accessible where it is needed most—right at the point of care. In this way, we support medicine, healthcare, and education with intelligent systems.”

Our research profile

The Medical Informatics and Graph-based Systems group at the University of Siegen (MIGS) combines expertise in the fields of knowledge management, artificial intelligence, data and text mining, machine learning and semantic technologies/knowledge graphs and the use of sensor data and intelligent measurement systems. The focus of our research is the creation of new approaches to knowledge modeling with knowledge graphs and their use for hybrid, explainable recommendation systems that explore knowledge structures and make knowledge usable across systems. We support the domains of medicine, education and industrial production and maintenance. The focus is always on people and the question of how knowledge can be made usable for intelligent systems and how this can be implemented using knowledge structures and artificial intelligence methods.

MIGS-FACE

AI-supported analysis of long-term ECGs - The analysis of long-term ECG data is time-consuming and error-prone in medical practice, although it is crucial for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. The FACE project is developing AI-based methods for the automated analysis of large volumes of ECG data in order to detect abnormalities more reliably and improve diagnostics.

MIGS-GAiST

Self-determined living in old age thanks to smart home technology - The ageing population poses new challenges for society and the healthcare system. Older people want to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible, while at the same time security and support must be guaranteed. The GAIST project is developing an intelligent smart home system that records everyday situations, health conditions and preferences of residents and provides adaptive support.
