Science Engagement & Communication

Working towards an accessible, diverse, and innovative research and development landscape:
The institute’s scientists deepen the understanding of how digital medicine – and the scientific and technological disciplines on which it is based – shape healthcare. They develop interactive, aesthetic exhibits and demonstrators, as well as experience-oriented formats that integrate artistic practices at the intersection of science, art, and technological development. These activities promote critical dialogue and participation in new technologies, attract new contributors, and strengthen a diverse research and development landscape. In doing so, they open up new perspectives, enhance societal relevance, and foster a culture of collaboration grounded in mutual respect and shared learning.

Citizens and professionals from both science and art are invited to participate and learn from one another. In doing so, Science Engagement at Fraunhofer MEVIS builds on the methods, principles, tools, and processes through which the institute fulfills its core mission.

We are delighted to be able to offer many activities related to the Year of the Future of Medicine in 2026!

The Beauty of Blood Flow Analysis

This short movie shows the dynamic reconstruction of the blood flow of a healthy human heart. New imaging methods for flow visualizations as shown are integrated into software assistants to help doctors determine how the blood flow changes due to heart diseases without using a catheter. They help calculate how the blood pressure and shear forces on the wall of the blood vessels change for patients with heart valve problems. Additional patient-specific numerical flow simulations could help estimate the benefits provided by a new heart valve before an intervention.
