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-CARES

CARES – AI-Powered Preventive Healthcare in the Home Environment

CARES is developing an integrated system that combines modern sensor technology, digital health applications, and artificial intelligence. The goal is to detect changes in health and identify correlations at an early stage, derive health indicators from this data, and develop predictive models. In the long term, this is intended to support prevention, self-management, and medical decision-making processes.

MIGS-FACE

AI-Based Analysis of Long-Term ECGs – The evaluation of long-term ECG data is time-consuming and error-prone in medical practice, even though it is crucial for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. The FACE project is developing AI-based methods for the automated analysis of large volumes of ECG data to detect abnormalities more reliably and improve diagnostics.
