Science Engagement & Communication

Fraunhofer MEVIS brings people, perspectives, and disciplines together for forward-looking research and innovation. The scientists at our institute focus on digital medicine and explore how its underlying scientific and technological developments are shaping tomorrow's healthcare.

Science Engagement connects research and development with clinical practice, industry, training and education, and civil society. This creates a dynamic space for knowledge transfer, with a focus on concrete applications that generate social value, fostering open, constructive dialogue across different stakeholders. 

With demonstrators, events, exhibitions, and interactive, participatory formats at the intersection of science, technology, art, and design, we make digital medicine tangible and accessible. At the same time, we invite critical reflection and engage a broad spectrum of participants, from school students and university students to early-career researchers, experts, partners, and the interested public. We strengthen a collaborative culture of innovation, promote shared responsibility, and contribute to digital sovereignty. 

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.
