In the Future Care Lab, the eHealth Research Group at RWTH Aachen University envisions future health care and simulates technologies that are anticipated for the next 10-15 years (external video):

The eHealth project at RWTH Aachen University aims at the conception, development and design of novel, integrative and user-centred medical assistance systems. It follows a multidisciplinary approach, which integrate perspectives of different disciplines, including psychology, communication science, computer science, (medical) engineering, and architecture.

Currently housed at the Human Technology Centre, Martina Ziefle's eHealth group is one of the founding members of the new HCI-Center at the RWTH Aachen University.

My dissertation on Serious Games for Healthcare was part of this project.
