Cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes are responsible for the majority of deaths in the Western world. In Germany alone, nearly 350,000 people die from them each year. Pathological narrowing and aneurysms of the blood vessels are often the underlying causes. Currently, these diseases can only be diagnosed with expensive examinations performed by experienced specialists, meaning they are only carried out in cases of acute suspicion. The Department Life Science Engineering at the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen now aims to develop a diagnostic device with the project "AngioDiagnostics – Early Detection of Risk Factors of the Cardiovascular System Using Homomorphically Encrypted Machine Learning Algorithms." This device will enable simple, cost-effective, and non-invasive screening – even at the general practitioner's office. Simultaneously, the data will be secured using an innovative encryption method. The Hessian Ministry for Digital Affairs is funding the project with €710,750 from its Distr@l program. Digital Minister Prof. Dr. Kristina Sinemus presented the funding notification to the team led by Prof. Dr. missing in original text] today.
