The Tram Forward Assist is part and core component of the Bosch Tram Assist Suite, a modular driver assistance system designed to enhance safety and efficiency in urban rail transport. The Tram Forward Assist System warns of impending head-on collisions with potential obstacles, such as other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists and detects both signs and signals. So the solution enhance safety for fewer driver-related accidents, increase comfort and extra assistance for drivers and therefore trams will have fewer delays, breakdowns and repairs. It employs a combination of camera and radar sensors, with the option to add LiDAR, to continuously monitor the area in front of the tram. This technology can be installed as original equipment or retrofitted into existing tram fleets, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of operators.
CardioMedive is a patented modular cardiovascular monitoring platform that replaces multiple separate medical devices with a single reusable core unit and interchangeable medical modules. The system supports long-term ECG monitoring (patch and 3/5/12-lead Holter), blood pressure measurement, SpO₂, respiration, temperature, and remote examination — all unified through one device and one user experience.
Developed in Romania and protected by granted patents in the EU and US, CardioMedive enables hospitals, clinics, and telemedicine providers to deliver scalable cardiac care while reducing equipment fragmentation, operational complexity, and total cost of ownership. The platform integrates multi-sensor data, edge AI processing, and a UV-C docking station for safe, high-turnover clinical use.
Through its “Personal Heart Companion,” the system brings GenAI into daily cardiac care — offering personalized insights, early detection support, patient education, and continuous monitoring across the full cardiac journey from prevention to chronic disease management.
The project operates in the Medical & MedTech sector, focusing on Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in Romanian hospitals. Its goal is to transform critical care through digitalisation, AI-driven decision-making, and advanced technologies, improving patient outcomes and easing clinical workflows.
In 2025, the project delivered four core objectives: digital ICU transformation, preparation for EHDS compliance and clinical research, cross-border ICU connectivity via telemedicine between Romania and Germany, and strategic partnerships for scalability and societal impact.
The project introduces MONA (Medical ON-site Assistant), an MDR-certified digital ICU platform developed by Clinomic (Germany), based on HL7 FHIR, AI, a Clinical Data Repository, and a C5-certified EU cloud.
MONA was successfully implemented in three hospitals in Cluj-Napoca, demonstrating its innovative value in real clinical environments.
