On 23 October 2025, the GLG Werner Forßmann Klinikum Eberswalde hosted the opening event of the Expert Forum within the Interreg project HEALTH.AI Pomerania. The forum is designed as an open event series: specialists and interested parties jointly discuss concrete questions about the use of AI in medicine, with the aim of making knowledge gained within the project network more broadly accessible.
The Werner Forßmann Klinikum is involved in the project in two areas. In radiation therapy, chief physician Ralph Schrader explained the AI application already in use: a real-time tracking system continuously scans the body surface and monitors tumour position during irradiation. This enables more precise treatment, spares healthy tissue, shortens sessions, and eliminates the need for permanent skin markings. Schrader explicitly stressed that human oversight must be maintained despite all the advantages of AI-assisted planning. In radiology, Susanne Hengst, head of the radiology department, described how AI already supports diagnostic reporting — and critically discussed what level of transparency is needed regarding AI training data. Her conclusion: the role of the radiologist is evolving, but the responsibility remains with humans. Eberswalde contributes data from both areas for the project-wide analysis of the economic and legal framework conditions of AI deployment.
The project partners from Szczecin, Greifswald, and Cottbus added further insights: Dr. Bartłomiej Masojć from Szczecin University Hospital reported that more than 10,000 patients have already been treated there using the AI-supported MIM tool. Dr. Linus Großmann from Greifswald demonstrated real-time MRI, in which interpretable videos are generated from individual images and evaluated using AI. Dr. Günter Ziegenhardt from Cottbus presented the RayStation planning system, which optimises radiation treatment planning at Cottbus University Hospital.
The project has a total volume of over €4.3 million, 80% of which is funded from the Interreg VI A programme Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania / Brandenburg / Poland 2021–2027.
