  • Deutsche Telekom, Fraunhofer IAIS, and Kliniken der Stadt Köln collaborate to develop AI agents for emergency room support
  • Structured by medical priorities and serving as a documentation framework
  • Blueprint for highly secure AI solutions within the AI Foundation Services

In the emergency room of hospitals, the so-called trauma room, up to ten doctors and nursing staff work together to provide rapid and life-saving care for critically injured patients. Deutsche Telekom, the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS), and Merheim Hospital, part of Kliniken der Stadt Köln, are currently developing an AI-powered real-time display system based on trauma room simulations. The AI listens to and tracks the conversations of the medical team in the trauma room. Based on this input, an AI agent categorizes the extracted information according to medical priorities. This list is continuously updated, while the data is simultaneously recorded for treatment documentation purposes. The goal is to ease the workload for trauma teams, minimize errors, and ultimately – save lives.
