2024-09 / Recap of the German Rheumatology Congress 2024 in Düsseldorf!

September 18-21, 2024 | Congress Center Düsseldorf | Düsseldorf, Deutschland

We excited to share our participation in the German Rheumatology Congress 2024 in Düsseldorf, held from September 18-21 in collaboration with medac!

This event served as a premier platform for discussing advancements in immunological therapies and AI in healthcare.

Visitors had the opportunity to explore the medac Booth #S60, where Dr. Jawaid Ahmad Baig, Head of Sales Germany/Regional Director International Sales, showcased a live demonstration of the akiron® NEO.

The akiron® NEO is a compact benchtop IFA analyzer that supports automated digital imaging of immunofluorescence slides, facilitating the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. With its AI-based software, it enables objective ANA/ANCA pattern recognition and intensity evaluation in approximately 35 seconds for ANA, ANCA, and CLIFT.

Thank you to everyone who visited us, and we look forward to future conversations!
