In the course of the BMBF-funded project Nanni (Neonatal ventilator with adaptive user support) the partners Löwenstein Medical, the Uniklinik RWTH Aachen and for the RWTH Aachen University the chair Informatik 11 have consolidated. One of the major goals of this project within the next three years is to elaborate the foundation for the next generation of premature and newborn ventilators. Dr.-Ing. André Stollenwerk, head of group medical engineering acquired this project. In the context of his dissertation, Mr. Mateusz Buglowski will be significantly involved in shaping the future of premature and newborn respiratory devices. We are keen and looking forward to the cooperation within this promising project
