Dr. Rainer Wieching 28 Jahre Erfahrung

Dr. Rai­ner Wie­ching (Dr. sports sci­ence gra­dua­te sports tea­cher, phy­sio­lo­gist, pro­ject mana­ger and coor­di­na­tor). As part of his work in the health sec­tor, he has coor­di­na­ted several suc­cess­ful EU and BMBF rese­arch pro­jects in the fiel­ds of health, care and prevention.

The iStopp­Falls pro­ject (EU FP7, 2011–2014) is aimed at pre­ven­ting falls and pro­mo­ting phy­si­cal acti­vi­ty for seni­or citi­zens using ICT-based trai­ning pro­grams. The Mobi­As­sist pro­ject (VDI / VDE, BMBF, 2015–2018) is deve­lo­ping a mobi­liz­a­ti­on assi­stant for the care of peop­le with demen­tia and their rela­ti­ves. The EU pro­ject my-AHA (my acti­ve and healt­hy aging), (H2020, EU, 2016–2020) aims to impro­ve ear­ly detec­tion and limit the risk of phy­si­cal frail­ty and cogni­ti­ve impairments as well as depres­si­on in old age. In the field of self-lear­ning, adap­ti­ve sys­tems, he is invol­ved in the Cogni­ti­ve Vil­la­ge pro­ject (VDI / VDE, BMBF, 2015–2018).

Cur­rent natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal rese­arch pro­jects focus on the use of robo­tic sys­tems in nur­sing in an inter­cul­tu­ral com­pa­ri­son bet­ween Ger­ma­ny and Japan: Pro­ject HAPPIER (Healt­hy Aging Pro­gram with Per­so­na­li­zed Inter­ac­ti­ve Empa­the­tic Robots), (DAAD 2018–2019) with the Robo­tics Insti­tu­te of Wase­da Uni­ver­si­ty Tokyo and Pro­ject ARiA (App­lied Robo­tics in Elder­ly Care in the Working Worlds of the Future), (BMBF 2018) in the sci­ence year 2018.

For 15 years of his pro­fes­sio­nal care­er, he foun­ded and mana­ged an SME in the health sec­tor, respon­si­ble for tech­ni­cal, medi­cal and sci­en­ti­fic aspects in the field of glo­bal phar­maceu­ti­cal mar­ke­ting for car­dio­vascu­lar and onco­lo­gy. With a focus on phar­maceu­ti­cal mar­ke­ting, cer­ti­fied medi­cal trai­ning (CME), ICT-based com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on and infor­ma­ti­on sys­tems for evi­dence-based medi­ci­ne (cli­ni­cal stu­dies and natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal gui­de­li­nes) and medi­cal tech­no­lo­gy (ultra­sound).

As part of his stu­dies and doc­to­ra­te, he rese­ar­ched and worked in the per­for­mance phy­sio­lo­gy labo­ra­to­ry of the Phy­sio­lo­gi­cal Insti­tu­te of the Ger­man Sport Uni­ver­si­ty Colo­gne (DSHS Colo­gne) and in the lung func­tion and per­for­mance test labo­ra­to­ry of the children’s cli­nic of the Uni­ver­si­ty Cli­nic Aachen (RWTH Aachen), respon­si­ble for per­for­mance tests, bio­si­gnal ana­ly­sis, data manage­ment, Com­pu­ter algo­rith­ms and sta­tis­ti­cal analysis.

In addi­ti­on, based on his 8‑year employ­ment in an engi­nee­ring office, he has exten­si­ve expe­ri­ence in sys­tem ana­ly­sis, data mode­ling and pro­gramming of com­plex real-time pro­cess con­trol sys­tems in the ener­gy indus­try (pro­cess data model, mea­su­red value and mes­sa­ge pro­ces­sing, topo­lo­gy and net­work calculation).
