Dr. Lars Klack

Since 2009 Lars Klack is a PhD student in the eHealth group of the Human Technology Centre at RWTH Aachen University. Currently his research activities focus on the user centered development of a medical assistance system for patients with chronic heart diseases and its integration into future home environments. The project's goal is to enable heart patients to live safely and independently at home.

Lars studied mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University and Lisbon University, specializing in biomedical engineering. In 2008 Lars worked for the CERTI foundation in Florianopólis, Brasil.
