Image credit: Tom Bauer\/TU Braunschweig. <\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Three Partners and Industry<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The demonstrator for future hospital rooms, located on Naumburgstra\u00dfe in Braunschweig, is a joint project of the Institute for Constructive Design, Industrial and Healthcare Construction (IKE) at TU Braunschweig, the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST, and St\u00e4dtisches Klinikum Braunschweig. Additionally, there are 19 partner companies from industry. The prototype of the patient room was developed in the KARMIN project and exhibited in Berlin in 2020 on the Charit\u00e9 campus during the World Health Summit. The walk-in model has now been transferred to a new application-oriented research and study laboratory. Together, the consortium is working and researching how to shape the future use of resources for the benefit of patients and nursing staff.    <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Thomas Bartkiewicz, Medical Director at SKBs, describes the motivation behind the project: \u201cWith 600,000 infections and 15,000 people dying from them, even one death is too many.\u201d Therefore, insights gained and model solutions developed are intended to be implemented nationwide and internationally from Braunschweig. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Translational Research Instead of Basic Research<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Under the motto &#8216;From Bench to Bedside and Back,&#8217; the central question is how the patient room will change in the future due to new developments in medicine and hygiene, societal demands, and advances in architecture, construction, and materials science. Professor Dr. Hamid Hossain, Chief Physician and Hospital Hygienist, Institute for Microbiology, Infectiology, Laboratory Medicine and Hospital Hygiene (MILKy), explains that the patient room in this form offers a pragmatic solution that meets the demands of everyday hospital life. Architecture and surfaces provide optimal conditions for conducting field trials and reintroducing the results into clinical practice.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Pragmatic, but There&#8217;s Still a Bit of Science Fiction<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Wolfgang Sunder, Head of Research for Healthcare Construction at IKE, has already compiled a dozen tips to help prevent infections. These include the accessibility of disinfectant dispensers, regular hand disinfection, and seamless surfaces in wet cells. In addition to these pragmatic approaches, innovations are also being introduced:  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Even if the surfaces in the room do not glow like northern lights to indicate infections, plasma, another state of matter alongside solid, gas, and liquid, can be used cost-effectively to disinfect surfaces. Additionally, ozone, diamonds, and automated cleaning systems are used for surface cleaning. \u201cEven if we are not yet there, automated cleaning systems in the form of robots are of research interest,\u201d says Dr. Kristina Lachmann, Group Leader for Medical Technology and Pharmaceutical Systems at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em><strong>Interested individuals can visit the patient room during an open day. This will take place on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at St\u00e4dtisches Klinikum Braunschweig, Naumburgstra\u00dfe 2a, 38124 Braunschweig. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Related Links:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/karmin.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karmin &#8211; Patient Room of the Future<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tu-braunschweig.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ist.fraunhofer.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/klinikum-braunschweig.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St\u00e4dtisches Klinikum Braunschweig<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>The podcast \u201cForsch! \u2013 Science in Conversation\u201d is a cooperation between ForschungRegion Braunschweig and Braunschweiger Zeitung.
