In this episode, we connect with Dr. Bernd Grimm from the Luxembourg Institute of Health and Professor Arndt-Peter Schulz from Germany's Fraunhofer IMTE – two researchers revolutionising orthopedic medicine by looking into the fast developing field of smart implants - here comes the SmILE project.

Musculoskeletal diseases like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis affect millions worldwide, yet barely register on our health radar. These conditions might not kill you, but they can devastate quality of life. That's why Dr. Grimm and Prof. Schulz would like to develop new smart implants which can help monitor and manage such diseases also creating a accessible database which can be used across the EU.

But Dr. Grimm and Prof. Schulz also work on many other projects - listen to this episode to find out more!
