The quality board of the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) has awarded the research of ETH and USZ on the prevention of medication errors by TML-coded syringe labels with the Q-Award 2022.

Additive manufacturing offers a large potential to optimize the performance of components. But how large is this potential in the field of hydraulics and what should be considered during the redesign process? These questions are answered in our recently published case study on the design of an additively manufactured hydraulic spool valve.

At the annual “Meet your Lab Event” of D-MAVT, we presented the latest results from our research into biomedical systems, additive manufacturing and human behavior. At the event, interested ETH engineering students had the opportunity to meet our researchers in person and to experience latest technologies firsthand, such as our AR-based hand tracking system for human-robot interactions.

Dr Marianne Schmid Daners of pd|z will be a keynote speaker at this year's BRCCH Seminar, where she will provide an overview of the challenges of paediatric hydrocephalus treatment
