en.Wedoany.com Reported - BIOTRONIK, the German Heart Centre Foundation, and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin recently announced a research and innovation partnership focused on advancing digital and translational cardiology. The collaboration will combine the clinical cardiovascular expertise of the German Heart Centre Berlin (DHZC) at Charité with BIOTRONIK's strengths in active cardiac devices, artificial intelligence, and connected health technologies.
Building on existing projects in cardiovascular healthcare, including publicly funded programs, the partnership framework covers the entire process from early concept ideation to joint development and contract research. Initial projects plan to develop AI-driven tools and advanced simulation environments to optimize device-based treatment approaches.
Beyond the scope of the collaboration, BIOTRONIK and the German Heart Centre Foundation are jointly supporting the establishment and funding of a donated professorship for Digital and Translational Cardiology at Charité. Andreas Portmann, Managing Director of the Foundation, stated that the professorship aims to attract internationally experienced researchers in digital cardiology and related disciplines, accelerate innovation, and shape the future of global cardiovascular care. He also noted that the combination of clinical excellence and technological innovation will solidify Berlin's position as a leading center for cardiovascular research and serve as a key driver for Europe to maintain its leadership in medical technology.
Dr. Volker Lang, Senior Vice President of Research and Development at BIOTRONIK, believes that the future of cardiovascular care lies in digitalization, connectivity, and prediction. By integrating advanced AI, remote monitoring, implant technologies, and clinical research, cardiac care can be transformed to deliver better outcomes for patients worldwide. Professor Heyo K. Kroemer, Chairman of the Executive Board of Charité, stated that this strategic partnership demonstrates how academic medicine and industrial research can jointly advance data-driven cardiology. Importantly, the collaboration fosters innovation while training the next generation of cardiac specialists to meet the challenges of digital medicine. Professor Gerhard Hindricks, Interim Director and Chief Project Manager of Cardiology, Angiology, and Intensive Care Medicine at DHZC, noted that new technologies are rapidly changing the management of cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure. DHZC pursues technological leadership and drives innovation across all major subspecialties of cardiovascular medicine, and the partnership with BIOTRONIK can accelerate the translation from lab to clinic, bringing scientific discoveries into clinical practice more quickly.
