Day Four: Innovation from an industry perspective
Prof. Stefan Holdenrieder addresses experts in laboratory medicine at MEDICA 2022’.
A change of perspective is visible in cardiology as well. Molecular diagnostic tests allow for the increasing improvement of risk assessment for arteriosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and, thanks to advances in heart surgery, the importance of genetic examinations in the case of congenital heart defects is also on the rise. Other than that, thrombo- inflammation presents a new pathophysiological concept for understanding thrombogenesis.
Day Three: The perspective of young scientists
The third day of the Forum traditionally belongs to the next scientific generation within laboratory medicine. PD Dr Verena Haselmann, senior physician at the University Hospital of Mannheim, invites young colleagues every year to report on their current research and thus give an outlook on the future of the scientific field.
The leitmotif for 2023 is taken from the “data sciences”, which naturally exert a special attraction for young people due to the intelligent evaluation of large amounts of lab data. The presentation subjects in the morning run the gamut from
“Though the topics are complex, it is a hallmarkof the MEDICA LABMED FORUM that all presentations are short, to the point and easy to understand, and can be addressed in further depth in panel discussions.”
AI-supported image evaluation, to the analysis of complex lab data, to the automated generation of reports on diagnostic findings. In the afternoon, there will be a discussion of practical applications in hospitals, in doctors’ offices and within the diagnostics industry, among other subjects.

The last day of the event at the MEDICA LABMED FORUM starts with an overview of diagnostic solutions that noticeably shorten the time it takes to identify a pathogen, thus allowing physicians to make the most effective therapeutic response at an early stage instead of turning in risky diagnostic circles and losing time. Special attention is given to managing septicaemia through quick identification of the pathogen and the targeted use of antibiotics. More thorough research into scientific basics and possible applications yields a perspective for future options beyond classic antibiotic therapy, with the goal of countering the problematic development of resistances through innovative approaches. The spectrum of possible approaches under discussion ranges from the use of small molecules against bacterial toxins or specific transporters in the bacterial wall, to phage therapy. A look inside the world of ‘Next Generation Sequencing’ (NGS) and bioinformatics rounds out the event. The focus here is on characterising the microbiome of newborns, a very vulnerable patient group.
Another established tradition at MEDICA is the presentation of future trends from the point of view of the diagnostics and life science industry – a part of the forum programme that has for years been realised by Dr Peter Quick, member of the board of the Diagnostics Industry Association (Verband der Diagnostica-Industrie, VDGH). Present for the first time as a co-chairman this year is his colleague in the association, Dr Jan Gorka. Both have chosen infectious diseases as a focus for 2023, because “bacterial resistances to antibiotics are a serious and growing health problem that is accepted as the new normal in some health systems, among them Germany, and which will therefore cost the lives of thousands of people in future”, according to Dr Quick.
MEDICA: An overview
More than 5,000 exhibiting companies (700 of whom at COMPAMED) will showcase the entire value chain of medical and medical technological products with their innovations – including all steps from product development, manufacture and after- sales services. Visitors from all sectors of the health business have ample subjects for discussion, based on the defining trends which currently characterise the market and its dynamics.
The focus segments of the MEDICA trade fair are as follows: Laboratory Technology and Diagnostics, Medical Technology and Electromedicine (Imaging and Diagnostics/Medical Equipment and Devices), Commodities and Consumables, Physiotherapy and Orthopaedic Technology as well as IT Systems and IT Solutions.
