Partners
The network of project partners and associated partners provides an ideal starting point to successfully implement the medical technology innovations based on 5G technology and significantly improve the chances of survival and prognosis of critically ill people.
Verband Region Rhein-Neckar
With a gross value added of more than 71 billion euros and an export ratio of approx. 59%, the Rhine-Neckar Region is one of the economic performance centers in Germany and the EU. The combination of a strong industrial base, a well-balanced industry structure characterized by small and medium-sized enterprises, and a particularly powerful research and development environment have been and continue to be the guarantee for successful economic development. The development of a nationwide 5G infrastructure represents a key factor in maintaining and further expanding this position in the future. In line with its mission, the VRRN bundles as well as orchestrates all existing forces to address local, transnational, national and global challenges at the regional level. Its strength is the close and partnership-based cooperation through an optimal networking and interlocking of the most important actors from politics, economy and science in the region as it has already been done in many preliminary projects. In this sense, the VRRN is ideally suited as a steering consortium partner.

Siemens Healthineers
Siemens Healthineers is committed to shaping the healthcare of the future. As a leading medical technology company, it supports healthcare providers worldwide in expanding precision medicine, redesigning healthcare, improving the patient experience and digitizing healthcare. In this context, the importance of medical imaging is steadily growing. Our systems and software solutions support the early detection of diseases and the targeted management of therapies. However, this is countered by increasing staff shortages and an erosion of healthcare provision in rural areas.
In 2017, we equipped the first university hospital with remote software that can be used to coordinate complex CT examinations remotely. At RSNA 2019, one of the
world’s largest radiology congresses, we presented Siemens’ first mobile head CT scanner, which enables location-independent diagnosis. We expect helpful insights from the digital networking of our technologies with forays into the pre-clinical sector and the 5G standard in the RettungsNetz-5G project to find viable solutions for the challenges of the future. As a technology partner, Siemens Healthineers is available to the project to realize relevant technology building blocks regarding live video assistance, mobile CT, mobile robotics and analysis and decision platform.

DRK Kreisverband Mannheim e.V.
Saving lives, helping people and alleviating suffering are our primary goals
A traffic accident with injured people on a country road, a colleague at work who suddenly complains about severe pain and collapses, a child who falls badly while riding a bicycle, a grandfather who has a heart attack or a disabled woman who needs to be driven to the hospital for an examination.
These are typical emergency situations for the rescue service. Via the rescue control center (ILS-Integrierte Leitstelle Rhein-Neckar), the rescue vehicles required and suitable for the respective (emergency) situation are deployed, manned by qualified personnel.
The DRK Kreisverband Mannheim e.V. operates a total of four rescue stations. Two rescue stations are located in the city of Mannheim, one in Weinheim Weststadt and one in Hockenheim Talhaus.

University Hospital Mannheim
As a modern maximum care hospital, the UMM forms the central clinical contact point of the project. The four participating clinics for radiology and nuclear medicine, neurology, anesthesiology, and the central emergency room together are significantly involved in interdisciplinary emergency care: The procedure in preclinical emergency medicine is coordinated to a large extent with the Clinic for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, which also provides emergency ambulances and their crews. Further care in the central emergency room is provided by an interdisciplinary team of physicians in one of the modern shock rooms. Emergency imaging is performed on a modern CT scanner at the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine; further care of stroke patients is provided by the Department of Neurology. Together, the four partners involved contribute the necessary technical and organizational expertise to practically implement innovative emergency care concepts. Within the framework of various funded preliminary projects, there is above-average experience in the implementation of cooperative projects – for example, the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine has already been closely associated with the UMA as well as Siemens and BEC for several years through the M²OLIE research project. The Heinrich Lanz Center for Digital Health is closely linked to the UMM and supports the project in the area of data harmonization to ensure the connectivity of other university hospitals.

Smart Reporting
Smart Reporting GmbH, based in Munich, is a university spin-off founded in 2014 that offers digital solutions for efficient documentation of medical services. Currently, the company employs about 70 people to support structured radiological reporting with modern software tools. In this context, the company’s own software can be integrated into the technical architecture of third-party medical platforms, so that linking is possible without any problems. Smart Reporting GmbH is strategically interested in further developing its own product portfolio in practical medical fields of application, so that a partnership cooperation on the project makes sense for both sides.

University of Mannheim
The Institute for Enterprise Systems (InES) at the University of Mannheim combines basic research in (business) informatics with practical and industrial implementation. Since its foundation in 2011, it has been possible to build up an internationally recognized research group with a focus on agile software development, process management, HealthCare IT, semantic data integration and Data Science. This competence profile has been successfully applied in research projects from the fields of smart city platforms (xDataToGo – BMVI “mFund”), autonomous driving or flying (VanAssist – BMVI “Autonomous and Connected Driving” and mobil-e-Hub – BMWi “ICT for Electromobility”) and industry (FitFor4 – BMBF), among others. Within the BMBF research campus M²OLIE (“Mannheim Molecular Intervention Environment”)
the overarching process analysis, modeling and integration of molecular intervention, electronic patient education, the effects of the use of automated AI findings and the development of a central data infrastructure in the form of a data lake have been carried out since 2013. In the process, a close and successful collaboration developed between the research groups of Professor Heinzl at InES as well as Professor Schönberg at KIRN of UMM. Through a close interdisciplinary collaboration of five academic and 19 industrial partners, a medical technology environment for the further development of minimally invasive cancer therapies is being developed, tested and successively introduced in M2OLIE. The targeted proliferation of 5G networks means a wide range of new applications for the medtech innovations developed at InES, which will be tapped in the RescueNet-5G project with UMM and the other partners.
