Siemens Healthineers AG and Shandong First Medical University’s College of Radiology Collaborate on Medical Imaging Metaverse

Siemens Healthineers AG (ETR: SHL), a leading life sciences company based in Germany, has entered into a strategic partnership with the College of Radiology at Shandong First Medical University. The collaboration aims to encompass several key initiatives:

The duo will jointly construct China’s inaugural “Medical Imaging Metaverse Immersive Teaching and Research Demonstration College.” This venture will leverage cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, AI, and AR/VR to address the college’s requirements for sustainable talent development, application training, and classroom instruction in the digital age. The metaverse-based immersive teaching and research platform is designed to revolutionize traditional classrooms by simulating real-world scenarios. By digitizing the expertise and operational insights of training instructors and linking them to imaging equipment, the platform facilitates hands-on learning, enabling students to acquire and enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic skills at any time and from any location.

The partnership also focuses on industry-university research cooperation, merging international state-of-the-art technology with clinical research demands. This alliance seeks to establish a high-caliber medical research talent training system and pioneer a new model for the development of medical talents that integrates industry-university research applications.

In terms of talent cultivation, the partners plan to establish undergraduate internship innovation bases when conditions permit. They aim to foster the cross-cultivation and organic integration of medical research talents at various levels through the creation of off-campus mentor mechanisms for master’s students and the establishment of mobile workstations for postdoctoral practice.- Flcube.com
