The three-year project ELIoT (Enhancing Lighting for the Internet of Things) aims to provide an open reference architecture for the support of the Internet of Things, as well as contributing to the standardization of applications based on the internet travelling over light.

ELITE pursues the goal of making complex attacks and defense technologies of IT security tangible and experienceable for broad target groups. An immersive environment in the form of an exhibit construction kit, the so-called IT-Sec.PopUp-Lab, is to be created to give visitors a concrete impression of IT security risks. 

Second generation electric mobility project 

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.

Τhe main objective of the EMYNOS project is the design and implementation of a Next Generation platform capable of accommodating rich-media emergency calls that combine voice, text, and video, thus constituting a powerful tool for coordinating the communication among citizens, call centers, and first responders.

The End-to-End Efficiency (E3) project is an ambitious FP7 EC Large Scale Integrating Project (IP) aiming at integrating cognitive wireless systems in the Beyond 3G (B3G) world, evolving current heterogeneous wireless system infrastructures into an integrated, scalable and efficiently managed B3G cognitive system framework.

Modern endoscopes offer the surgeon a limited viewing angle of typically 70 degrees. As a result, doctors can only observe a small segment of their operative area. A panoramic view corresponding to the natural human visual field is missing. An endoscope with a 360-degree view is thus currently being developed in the Endoguide project. With the new endoscope, the surgeon can initially perform an automatic scan function that provides a panoramic view.

The goal of ENGAGE project is the development and use of a data infrastructure, incorporating distributed and diverse public sector information (PSI) resources, capable of supporting scientific collaboration and research, while also empowering the deployment of open governmental data towards citizens.

The goal of the ENSURE project is to see that volunteers are organized quickly and efficiently in emergency situations. The project is concerned with locating members of the public who have the kind of special skills needed in emergencies and disasters. The selected volunteers will be alerted and coordinated via smartphone app.

The project ESPRI-ADEP has developed a procedure for the pseudonymized identification of personal data between the information systems of EU member states. With this procedure, it can be queried whether data on suspicious persons are available within the EU without disclosing the sensitive data themselves (hit/no hit procedure). The innovation: The algorithm is able to find names with a similar spelling as the one in the query, such as Thomas and Tomas, and can, therefore, also be used to identify duplicates in databases.

The ERIC project aims to improve the care of patients before and after intensive medical treatment. Around 2.1 million patients are treated in intensive care units in Germany every year and almost half a million are ventilated. Intensive care treatment often leads to critical and stressful long-term consequences for patients and their relatives. The aim of the project is to apply scientific findings consistently and to connect patients to a new telemedical intensive care network.

In the ESWT (Extra-Corporal Shock Wave Therapy) project, VISCOM collaborating with a broad range of other Fraunhofer institutes (MEVIS, EMI, ITWM and SCAI) on the development of new technologies to make focused ultrasound therapy safer and more gentle. VISCOM’s role in the project is to develop software that can calibrate organ movements caused by breathing.
