TEF-Health

Before integrating new technologies into the healthcare system, it is crucial to comprehensively test their safety, robustness, and reliability. In the case of AI and robotics, quality requirements in the European Union are high, but the current testing infrastructure for developing standards, testing innovations, and certifying new products remains insufficient.

The TEF Health consortium aims to improve this process and accelerate the validation and certification of AI and robotics in medical devices. To this end, the research team is developing a test infrastructure (both virtual and physical) that can evaluate various technologies in realistic environments, including hospitals and laboratories. For instance, software for patient care or diagnostics, as well as surgical or nursing robots can be tested by users.
