ICS Dr. G. Roscher GmbH, Germany

The ICS Dr. G. Roscher GmbH (ICS - Intelligent Computer Systems) is a SME in Klein Ammensleben near Magdeburg. ICS was founded in 1991, to develop, manufacture and trade Intelligent Computer Systems – ICS - for medical and industrial applications.

The topic is the innovative method for real time analysis and recognition of noisy biological signals.

The EEG system BrainScope consists of efficient algorithms implemented for a powerful multi-processor system that recognizes EEG activity as Event Related Potentials – ERP - in real-time. These methods are integrated into a powerful graphic user interface and use a Data Base & Knowledge Management System. Incorporated into the system are state of the art EEGSYS algorithms from the NIMH (Washington / USA) for mappings, FFT, etc. A video-system is integrated in the system for watching the patient.

The ECG system HeartScope based on the technology of the BrainScope. With the HeartScope a physician can recognize the electrical activity of the heart in the dynamic in time and space in real-time. Portable devices - PhysioCord - using low power technology can store, recognize and transmit biological signals as the ECG wireless and in open field.

The real-time recognition is realized by using the following methods:

- Patented method of Virtual Sources,

- Neural Networks for feature extraction,

- Fuzzy-logic for pattern recognition,

- Evolutionary algorithms for classification,

- Dynamic lists for internal management of signal description in real-time,

- Data Base System for the management of signals and clinical data,

- Knowledge Management System for the acquisition of the knowledge of the experts,

- Web-technologies,

- Communication technologies,

- High performance multiprocessor systems - Grid

- portable devices using lowest power technology for signal acquisition and wireless data transmission.

The strategy of the R&D activities is oriented on the application of IST and will be developed from signals, signal acquisition, classification and recognition in to knowledge, administered by the Knowledge Management System (KMS), designed as communicative system, acquiring the knowledge from the leading experts.

From 1991 to 1997 ICS worked in the Innovation Founding Centre Magdeburg. The success of the enterprise gives the chance to build the own building in Klein Ammensleben near Magdeburg in 1997.

The partner has many and long duration experience in the management of projects in the design and application of Information and Communication Technologies in the medical field. ICS has participated in two national and three international projects [ICS1, …ICS10, www.ICSRoscher.de/projects.htm]

CV of the key person Dr.-Ing., Dipl.-Math. Günther Roscher

In 1968 he graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics of the "Otto-von-Guericke Universität" Magdeburg as Dipl.-Math. specialized in Computer Science by the development of interpreters. From 1969 to 1984 he was working as chief of the software development in the Werkzeugmaschinenkombinat Berlin, and as head of the development of the integrated CAD/CAM system RTV – Rechnerunterstütze Technische Vorbereitung. In 1975 he got the degree Dr.-Ing. of technology of the "Otto-von-Guericke Universität" Magdeburg by the development of descriptive languages and a compiler-generator for CAD/CAM solutions for high integrated machine tool systems. From 1984 to 1994 he was working in the "Institut für Neurobiologie und Hirnforschung der Akademie der Wissenschaften" and in the "Institut für Physiologie" of the "Otto-von-Guericke Universität" Magdeburg interested in research activities related to the function of the human thinking, using methods of computer science. Since 1994 he is CEO of the ICS Dr. G. Roscher GmbH with more than 35 years of experience in project management.
