Collaborative Safety and Health Projects

Based on the fit4sec project, the BERKoS project supports German actors in the formation of new research consortia. For this purpose, Fraunhofer FOKUS is realizing a platform, which helps users such as security authorities and companies to get an overview of the research and innovation landscape, to recognize innovation potentials faster and to find suitable partners more easily.

The goal of the ForAn project is to increase the participation of German utilizers in projects of the European security research program. To this end, the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS is expanding the TopicMatcher, the research portal for European research projects, developed in the fit4sec and BERKoS projects, and adapting it for the goals of the ForAn project.

In the HYKIST project, a real-time-based AI speech assistance system for basic and emergency medicine is being developed as a pilot. The AI-supported communication is intended to facilitate conversations with medical professionals for people who have only limited German skills. Thanks to automatic speech recognition, machine translation and linkage to a teleconferencing platform, the supervising interpreters are supported in conveying complex medical issues in a user-friendly way.

Within the EMYNOS project, a next-generation emergency communication platform ist to be designed and implemented. The project aims to coordinating communication among citizens, call centers and first responders.
