The joint project on AI-supported prevention of diabetic foot syndrome has been awarded the “Ideas for Impact” Health Prize by the Robert Bosch Foundation.
The founders of PI Probaligence, Prof. Dr. Dirk Roos and Dr. Kevin Cremanns recieving the award together with the project members from CID and HS Niederrhein
Within the project, PI Probaligence GmbH developed the core AI technology for analyzing sensor-based data to enable early detection of critical pressure and stress patterns. The goal is to reduce the risk of amputations through more precise and continuous monitoring of high-risk patients.
Beyond developing the AI models, PI Probaligence was responsible for the full system integration, including implementation within a smartwatch for mobile data acquisition, an iPad application for nursing staff, and the secure server infrastructure for data processing.
Project partners included Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, CID GmbH, and PI Probaligence GmbH. While the university and CID contributed clinical and medical technology expertise, PI Probaligence led the AI development, system integration, and technical architecture.
The award highlights the potential of probabilistic AI methods in safety-critical medical applications and demonstrates how advanced AI technology can address real societal healthcare challenges.
