2026-07-31: PLRI Research Featured in “Week of TU Braunschweig”

Our research on automotive health technologies has been highlighted in the latest “Week of TU Braunschweig.”

The article highlights the work of the Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics (PLRI) at Technische Universität Braunschweig and Hannover Medical School (MHH), providing insights into how vehicles could contribute to health monitoring in the future.

At the heart of the research is the vision of transforming cars into mobile health monitors. Research vehicles collect various vital parameters during driving, such as heart rate and respiratory rate, and analyze them using artificial intelligence. The goal is to detect changes in health at an early stage and, for example, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes.

The systems combine medical measurements with driving-related data to enable a reliable interpretation of the collected information. In the long term, this could lead to personalized driving functions that adapt to the individual condition of the driver.

The article highlights the potential of interdisciplinary collaboration between medical informatics and automotive engineering and provides exciting insights into the future of mobility.
