ICCAS - Innovation Center Computer Assisted Surgery

In a nutshell, ICCAS's goal is to enable today's operating theaters to benefit from the rapid developments in information and communications technology. The operating room is one of the most expensive and labor-intensive departments in a hospital. It's a place where tightly organized procedures, complex information processing, and being able to handle a wide range of state-of-the-art medical equipment all play a vital role. ICCAS's research work is geared to providing surgeons with ideal working conditions. New types of information technology and practical aids based on standardized formats are forged in order to improve the quality and speed of operations and reduce the strain on medical personnel. Moreover, digital patient and decision-making models are designed to ensure that the enormous amounts of data recorded about patients and their treatment can be efficiently analyzed and harnessed to enable accurate diagnosis and effective therapy. ICCAS's vision is to develop a "Surgical Cockpit" – a comprehensive assistance system that monitors all the workflows in the operating room, analyzes information, and supports decision-making and the implementation of treatment.
