The goal of the international network with partners from the UK is to develop and link new innovative therapeutic approaches and functional materials using digital and smart technologies to restore dysfunctional cells, tissues and organs. With its international focus on UK SmartMed provides the network partners a good opportunity to react to the new framework conditions, especially after Brexit and the resulting reorganization of international cooperation.

Hereby, the focus lies on the entire field of regenerative medicine restoring health and function through combination of:

• Modern therapeutic approaches
• New and functional materials
• Digitalization and the use of digital and intelligent systems in the form of algorithms, deep learning and AI.
