Shaping the future of endoscopy
Endoscopy has transformed gastrointestinal disease diagnosis and treatment through minimally invasive procedures using flexible endoscopes and endoscopic capsules. Our interdisciplinary team of physicians, engineers, and computer scientists is advancing this field.
Our innovations include radar endoscopy for non-contact tissue visualization, intelligent sedation methods, and advanced AI for improved diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, we focus on teaching with new simulator- and software-based methods.
Our comprehensive approach covers diseases, treatment, endoscopy mechanics, image recognition, signal processing, tissue sampling, training simulators, and new technical procedures.

Next Generation Endoscopy @ Innovate-a-thon by EKFZ and Telekom MMS
We participated in the first Innovate-a-thon, organized by EKFZ and Telekom MMS, where attendees tackled clinical data challenges in medicine. Our group offered hands-on experience in endoscopy, networked, and presented our work. This event provided a platform for collaboration and showcasing advancements in medical technology.

Maxime and Jonas join NGE as Clinician Scientists
We are pleased to welcome Maxime Le Floch and Jonas to the Next Generation Endoscopy team. As graduates of Dresden Medical School, they are now beginning their specialization in Internal Medicine with a focus on Gastroenterology.
Maxime and Jonas will be working on the enDDo.AI project, which aims to improve endoscopy video analysis using artificial intelligence. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for integrating AI into medical practice will be key in developing algorithms to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
We look forward to their contributions in advancing our efforts to improve patient care through innovative medical technology.
