Medical technology
The Research Group Medical Technologies stands for
- Interdisciplinary research involving researchers from four faculties (Electrical Engineering & Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Health/Communication/Human–Technology Interaction).
- Relevant and internationally recognized research achievements and publications, particularly in the fields of AI-assisted image and sensor data processing, innovative sensing technologies for vital-sign monitoring, mixed reality-supported healthcare applications, personalized human–machine interfaces, and highly specialized design and manufacturing processes.
- Excellent infrastructure through close integration with the AI Competence Center, providing access to high-performance computing resources, as well as several state-of-the-art university laboratories (Medical Device Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Mixed Reality, Human Factors, and Additive Manufacturing).
- Strong industry collaborations through the Medical Technology Network, which connects regional companies and healthcare institutions, as well as through intensive cooperation with the Medical Campus of Lower Bavaria and the Advisory Board for Medical Technology and Healthcare Management.
- Future-oriented qualification of early-career researchers through participation in doctoral training centers, BayWISS, and the integration of student projects from seven degree programs into research activities (B.Sc. Biomedical Engineering, B.Sc. & M.Sc. Computer Science, B.Sc. Artificial Intelligence, M.Sc. Electrical Engineering, B.Sc. Engineering Psychology, and M.Sc. Applied Research in Engineering Sciences).

July 2, 2026, starting at 5:00 p.m., Landshut University of Applied Sciences (G0 07 / Audimax)
This year’s “MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION FORUM” at Landshut University of Applied Sciences will once again focus on new developments, findings, and insights, as well as new projects in the field of medical technology research. In expert panels featuring partners from the industry, challenges and solutions will be presented and discussed with a broad audience of specialists. The poster symposium—where professors, doctoral candidates, and students present a wide range of topics related to medical technology, health, and AI—remains a key element of the event.
Trustworthy AI to assist in the emergency room
A research team at Landshut University of Applied Sciences is collaborating with the Department of Radiology at LMU Medical Center and the Munich-based company deepc GmbH on a project aimed at making the use of AI in medicine safer and more transparent. Through the development of AI Safety Monitoring, the project is investigating how AI systems can be used to diagnose brain hemorrhages in the emergency room in a way that relieves staff in time-critical situations. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy through May 2028.
Talk and poster presentation at BVM conference 2026
Two PhD students from the Medical Technology Research Group presented their latest research findings at this year’s BVM Conference, which took place in Lübeck in March.
Michael Schwimmbeck gave a presentation on the forecasting of organ deformations, which enables navigation systems in liver surgery to be more efficient and capable of real-time operation.
Serouj Khajarian presented a poster on a concept for automating organ segmentation in open liver surgery.
Hearing-Team at the Erlangen Colloquium for Audiological Research and Development
The Hearing-Team from the Medical Technology Research Group attended the 53rd Erlangen Colloquium for Audiological Research and Development in February 2026; a day full of exciting ideas and valuable exchanges with experts in the field.
PhD students Lisa Incerti and Tim Kreitmaier provided insights into their current research projects.
Highlights of the year 2025
New research projects, laboratory equipment, collaborations, various awards and publications, doctoral supervision rights, new studies, new data, new PhDs, fantastic events—2025 was another GREAT year for our Research Group Medical Technologies.

Many thanks to everyone who accompanied and supported us! We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!
Medical technology network
The medical technology network emerged from a funding project in 2012 and comprises industrial and medical partners in the region. Activities in research and teaching are continuously expanding the network. Our network members benefit from knowledge transfer through regular events such as the medical technology poster symposium and contact with our young talent from various degree programmes such as biomedical engineering, computer science and electrical engineering.
Advisory Board for Medical Technology and Health Management
Landshut University of Applied Sciences offers a wide range of activities in medical technology and health management. On March 7, 2012, an advisory board was established with corresponding bylaws. This board provides the university with technical guidance and advice through recommendations and supports it with practical and consulting expertise as well as specialized lectures. This ensures that quality criteria are met and continuous development is guaranteed. The advisory board consists of up to eight members, equally divided between university faculty and external experts from the fields of medicine, business, social institutions, or technical colleges.
Internal members: Prof. Dr. Stefanie Remmele (Chair), Prof. Dr. Holger Timinger, Prof. Dr. Johann Jaud, Prof. Dr. Andreas Breidenassel
External members: Prof. Dr. med. J. Schmidt, MHBA, Chief Physician of General, Visceral, and Thoracic Surgery, La-Regio Kliniken Landshut-Mitte; Josef Krojer, CEO of System Industrie Electronic GmbH; Marc-Roger Göpfert, Director of R&D RT Positioning, Brainlab SE Munich; Theresa Feulner, Requirements Engineer, TÜV Süd Produkt Service
