Klaus F\u00f6rger, D. Tech., works at Atostek in a project involving the development of software used in automated forklifts. He also acts as the scientific director of the Jasmine research project related to the secondary use of health data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Atostek, Klaus F\u00f6rger<\/strong> is involved in both industrial and health care projects. Atostek\u2019s innovative Jasmine research project<\/strong> on secondary use focuses on the automatic utilization and processing of health data particularly with the aid of machine learning. In the project, artificial intelligence is applied to the data. This enables, for example, the assessment of patients\u2019 risk to get different diseases. F\u00f6rger acts as the scientific director in the research project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this project, we have to think about matters related to the research, confidentiality and ethical processing of health data, which is new to me. For example, the technical solution that is the best for public health may not be the best from the point of view of individual rights. I can\u2019t just think like an engineer, but I also need to think about things from a more humanistic perspective,\u201d says F\u00f6rger.<\/p>\n

His work also involves software development related to automated forklifts. F\u00f6rger is particularly interested in how an individual can use and utilize extensive, complex information systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my previous research projects, the work focused on people. In a way, the same applies here, but in a slightly more industrial context. For example, there are people working in warehouses who know that the goods need to be delivered to a certain place at a certain time. I\u2019m interested in finding ways to help the people get the job done easily without complex information systems getting in the way,\u201d continues F\u00f6rger.<\/p>\n

Use for a doctoral degree in the corporate world<\/h2>\n

Research can also be carried out in the industrial sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think about, for example, digitally captured human motion, which I studied in my dissertation, body movements consist of signals involving metrics. The metrics, on the other hand, need to be processed and interpreted. It is, however, possible to replace the person with a forklift without it impacting the work too much,\u201d describes F\u00f6rger.<\/p>\n

Industrial and health care projects may also involve complex problems, the solution of which requires the ability to see the big picture, for example.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the IT sector, you often encounter complex problems, particularly if the information system is on the larger side. In such cases, it helps to have the ability to see the big picture, which is something that my doctoral degree has made me good at.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI also like the hands-on nature of my work at Atostek. For instance, if I program something, the work will very likely actually be put to use,\u201d he sums up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
