On November 4th, Prof. Stefanie Speidel gave a lecture at the Children’s University in collaboration with the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum and Technische Universität Dresden on the topic: “High-tech instead of band-aids – What will the operating room of the future look like?”

The Children’s University offers young children a great opportunity to explore a wide variety of topics in an entertaining and interactive way at an early age, whether it be medicine, social topics, or chemistry. In her lecture, she showed the children in a playful way how surgical robots work and how AI can help them learn certain tasks independently. A big thank you to all the curious young minds who joined Stefanie in exploring how technology is shaping the future of medicine!
