Doctors frequently experience a restricted view of the surgical field, particularly during endoscopic procedures. A novel technique developed by Prof. Dr. Lena Maier-Hein's team at the DKFZ in Heidelberg integrates spectral imaging with AI-driven data analysis. This innovation facilitates accurate tissue differentiation and delivers real-time insights into organ function.

The healthcare sector generates an increasing volume of data, yet much of it remains underutilised or inadequately secured. Implementing robust data governance - a structured framework for collecting, managing and protecting data - could unlock this untapped potential and lay the foundation for improved patient care.

The stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori is widespread and, if left undetected, can impact our well-being and also lead to serious health conditions. While effective treatments exist, a reliable diagnosis is essential. To address this, researchers have developed an affordable breath test that uses a mini-sensor to detect the presence of the bacterium. They are currently working on a smartphone-compatible version for self-testing.

In complex organisms, embryonic development is tightly regulated by intricate signalling pathways. When these pathways are disrupted, they can lead to characteristic developmental defects that are not easy to detect with the naked eye. Developmental biologist Prof. Dr. Patrick Müller from the University of Konstanz has developed EmbryoNet, an AI-powered software tool that uses image analysis to reliably identify such developmental disorders.

Bacteriophages - viruses that specifically attack and destroy bacteria - are emerging as promising alternatives to antibiotics in the fight against drug-resistant infections. To speed this effort, researchers at the University of Tübingen have created PhARIS, a computational tool that mines genomic data to pinpoint phages that are effective against the hospital superbug Staphylococcus aureus. By rapidly matching phage and pathogen, PhARIS can significantly accelerate the development of targeted phage therapies.
