and on this time, the meanings and merits of living and peace with the neighbors or the v of on fabrics. it was a mass people that seem certain places don't m f, c, c o, c o c s the more and more children and young people who have been diagnosed with cancer are surviving it. according to the world health organization for out of 5 children can no be cured. a lot of current research is trying to home in on white standard therapy don't helps them kids. and why they don't respond to 1st line treatment. at a pediatric kansas center and southern germany, experts are working on new ways to help pick exactly the right medication for their young patients. that story and much more this week on data science program. welcome to tomorrow. today.

watching i coach at play, you'd have no idea that he's fighting a deadly disease. every day. it all began a year ago. his family was taking a holiday and the boy drifted off to sleep on his mother's stomach and in constant . okay. he had his head tilted back like this and, and this thing really po, down like an egg, was initially told that's not normal. comes in company normally do that. let's look . so we headed straight to a hospital and 100 invitation. i did an online and then said he had cancer. it was like the end of the world for us that i could, suffers from the rear form of pediatric cancer because it's tumor couldn't be removed surgically. the doctors immediately started a 1st course of chemotherapy and not the same. your life changes really fast. one minute everything's fine. you have a healthy child, then everything changes on this,

this diagnosis and you have to get through it where you have no other choice far. more than 2000 children in germany are diagnosed with cancer every year. at the hop children's cancer center in heidelberg, all of that has a project that gives hope to young patients. if 20 percent i can. uh huh. 20 percent of our child patients. we don't currently have any effective therapies available so entirely. that's partly due to the fact of kansas in children and other lessons or just a significantly from those in adults. dorothy funding as of oxygen. i just, what i mean is that drugs which have mainly been developed for adults, a box on no longer simply transferred one to long to children these days or 2 of a cognizant. the 1st course of chemotherapy failed and i could condition grew worse before long. he could hardly breathe at night and a m, i take them off. here's what the m r i showed some push and everything that's larger in color here is the cancer. often verifying the image, every thing look closed out of service. it was like

a rope around his neck. he was already getting it through a hole, 2 or 3 millimeters wine. let me reach out as far as the campus. so minimal that when they put him down to sleep, they had to give them adrenalin cortisone to open up his airway and the state told us that it was so tight he just had to bring the wrong ones. and that would be a fresh off in nevada. i could urgently needed a drug to stop the tumor, but there was no treatment for his cancer that could guarantee success. still, his family refused to give up and were supported by a dedicated doctor in mines. his whole thoughts out, she just kept on fighting and she said, we call him given now we have to do more surgery to death because that's what she said. we taking him to biopsy and send that to heidelberg to see what might help as in con, tumors, samples from all over europe are sent the heidelberg and behind every one of them is a child with cancer. the children all need an effective treatment. just know to cancers are identical. to researchers analyze each tumors characteristics as precisely as

possible. they search for its unique weak spots looking for clues that might tell them how best to attack it. there are hundreds of potentially effective therapies on the markets, but most of them were developed for adults to find out whether they could also help a child miniature tumors or cultivated from the children's cancer samples. thank you. peters like this house around $1000.00, many tumors per child, a 1000 guinea pigs, each exposed to a particular cancer drug on behalf of a young patient. is, i mean, you come in our program help pinpointing the right medication for the patients from a wide range of possibilities. individual inputs, the police do also called mosquito the machine uses, need those to dispense the cancer drive. 80 different active compounds are dripped onto the grid plate and 5 concentrations each well. and the plate contains an many

tumor which is treated for 3 days. the maybe cut off to the drugs of being to spend, we looked at whether the mini team is dying. we want to see the cancer cells react and find out which drugs some of they react to. yeah, we've tried the cells and when the sample tends green, we know the cells are starting to die. that's when a drug zeros are interest. to see it. that way, many different substances can be tested simultaneously from a multitude of choices. the doctors can then select promising candidates and exclude therapies that aren't likely to help me to come and test. our drug program is in the late experimental phase of them and to 5 we successfully completed a 3 year pause face and sort of patients can benefit from it. because in those puts in the form that we haven't systematically evaluated as

a large number of patients yet, and on this on and i was on. so i some puts in this too much ask about the this list sensitivity profiling help. i codes on college just in mines, choose a truck that's normally used to treat melanoma. they already noticed a difference after the for 1st day of treatment. and now i could can finally brief freely again. during the testing and heidelberg, the medication was very effective on the many tumors derived from codes, cancer tissue. the drug sensitivity profiling process worked initially as big as a tangerine i codes tumor has now shrunk to the size of a razor and get full pie. he's doing great fee of a blaze. he runs around lives his life and he doesn't have breathing problems anymore and sleeps better. and who is alma? from 12 to us. it's like if things stay like this, he has a chance to live a life by who, which is the 1st child in germany, who's doing well with this type of tumor. so his story provides hope for other

young cancer patients who might be saved by the drug profiling process, entitled are the relatives to care along with dedicated medical staff and doctors can help mitigate the effects of cancer and accelerate the healing process. and a quick return to health relies in no small part on the atmosphere and award when it comes to architecture, most clinic sacrifice aesthetics to folks from function. but with the right planning, the to can go hand in hand and innovative hospital shows how the are lots of wood and glass and an outdoorsy field that continues into the interior. it's a building that seems to breed more than 20 years ago. so it's based architectural firm helps. so again, to more on designed rehab bozza,

the client had one main request. the building had to function as a hospital wasn't supposed to feel like one over 2 decades later, the architect in charge of the project coasting have been sprung up handle hospitals, current directors, stuff on bachman. take a stroll through the light field building. there's little bits reminiscent of an ordinary hospital. it doesn't smell like one, and there are no confusing signs here. such as the cost payments us either minus thorough what you bought is one of the big issues. most hospitals have long corridors lined with doors face. and you're usually guided to where you're going with arrows, different colors of signs to show you the way. on an off here, the 1st thing you see is nature. i'll see it even on a day like today when the weather isn't particularly nice from the chance. 10 interior court yard skit free have basel an unmistakable atmosphere.

see nasty. it's the inner courtyard step, provide orientation on those. each is different in terms of dimension, the different things go in the inner court yards of the light falls differently. and then you remember that i know that's where i have to go left me. this cluster of birch trees, for example, is on the way to the therapy station to another day of the year. there's an open door which is kind of a rare office. there are countries where you're not allowed to open windows and hospitals for fear of pathogens coming in from outside. but it's a huge improvement the quality in the large opening, the fresh air, different, you know, the indoor climate, nature and simple orientation aids are for sick people in particular. that's the focus of tonya, fully males work. the berlin based architectural psychologist studies how these factors can help reduce stress levels. then monday of this case, let's see

a few reduces stress or prevented in the 1st place. then patients experienced significantly less nausea during certain therapy that pain has measurably reduced treatments cause less anxiety. patients are willing to have a therapy and don't reject it in one. there's also a fairly old study by an american colleague just found that in patients are easier to care for, legalized doesn't, form is university studies and biology and psychology. you have also shaped or research happened in aspect of creation which via, and my 1st conversations with people seriously. oh, with cancer, i noticed that they use spatial matter for us to express their suffering and their fears. they would say things like, i feel as though i fallen into a dark hole. i'm standing in front of a wall. i'm stuck on the side when the body falls seriously hill space it inhabits, does to home mate in rehab. positive has been a success with patients and doctors

a like today has all going to move on design hospitals around the world with major projects in denmark, san francisco, and a new pediatric hospital in zurich, switzerland. the google staff are new hospitals in germany. fewer and fewer people are choosing to enter caregiver profession. even though there are more and more old people in particular to need care. will technology soon be able to fill the gap for the robot? maybe one day in the distant future, put some mechanical helpers, at least are already proving to be able assistant. good morning, highlighters and team. we're delighted to welcome you here at the carry test care center. meet pepper jamie and johnny. they work at the st.

johannes social care center for seniors and the german town of elin box. the 3 robots are humanoid and appearance, and that's a big advantage. this is on a could. it helps to win the hearts of the elderly clients. so yeah, i'm surprised, very appealing and terms of its anatomy. i love it as a kind of child like appearance and its head is at eye level with our senior citizens who are always sitting down when g m, as it's pepper, has been in service. here for almost 4 years, the robot cost around 40000 bureaus back down, money well spent as the morning exercise, session shows, taker for pep or your fitness trainer to i hope you feel like doing a few exercises with the today. a bowlens from wild pepper gives instructions the nursing staff assist clients with the exercises. without it that wouldn't be possible. pepper and the other robots engage with the clients, but also perform other tasks. if an elderly client were to get up unexpectedly from

their nap and take a fall, jamie could alert the human staff. it's another layer of safety in the daily routine. the me definitely definitely of course the staff always have an eye on clients in need of care, but now they can sometimes carry out other activities at the same time. yeah, and he provides entertainment with little dance routines and reminds the seniors to take their medication. please take your medicine now a glass of water is available. i think in principle at least the nursing staff doesn't even have to be in the room. jani is also able to act completely independently, a dismissal ones. so we never do that though because it's important to us that the human care isn't replace of it. yes. and then there's always a caregiver, there cost me on this pepper. jamie and johnny are not classified as actual care

robots. they're not skilled enough for that yet. but what's in store in the future is being researched in nearby bavaria where the robots gummy might one day help elderly people with daily tasks is to see by so yeah, that's our goal is to support patients for as long as possible so that they continue to live at home independently, with some mechanical assistance initially. that's still a long way down the road go gummy is still very much a research project. along with every day assistance that might also play a role in tele medicine one day. for 4 years, dr. otto, charlie unnecessary, and his team has been researching how robotics and artificial intelligence might be used effectively in the health care sector. gandhi is constantly being taught new skills, like interpreting more complex needs. it can recognize facial

expressions, what is this, how the pain and so on, based on this you decide, then you trigger actions. so it can or cannot is if a person for the dog, this is old vision pipelines but it can come eyes visually the meets. so from the audio side, based on asking questions also to, to, to the patient for extensive advice as the patient can say, i'm thirsty and then do you need the bottle of water or tea or hot tea or i am cold? should i bring you blanket the jackets and tele medicine the robot could also soon start playing a more important role. this patient is in pain. he says it started suddenly while he was reading. okay, going to shine bottle, carry out a remote exam with gummies help. with the aid of tactile sensors gone the can assess a patient's strength and range of movement. that information is sent to the doctor

who uses it to assess the symptoms. it doesn't matter if the patient is in the doctor's office or many kilometers away. usually come in, but city important thing is that i can talk to the patients. they can hear me and i can hear them. you can have a conversation before i can reassure the patient and examine them even if from a distance. as a doctor, it often happens that patients ask for a consult straight away. really, if i have to drive 10 or 20 kilometers out into the countryside to see them, that can really be an issue for him. holly is also a care robot though with a different design, then government that can provide support when administering medication can also push patients along pre defined paths in a wheelchair probably can also assist with obtaining medical histories for documenting boons during a test and a pre defined environment holly managed quite well, but a real hospital or care environment is more complex. for not always

is there are often small issues that a human can figure out without even noticing the much which still present a major challenge to a robot total or but the technology is advancing rapidly and the more sophisticated it's programming, the more a robot can do some experts predict robots could be used in the care giving and health care sectors within about 10 years. but size and weight are often still a problem. and so is the price, not including expenses for research and personnel gone. the costs around 300000 bureaus on the medical devices. it is, it is just but we want to go low cost, but this $1.00, it's not only dependent on us, but we depend also to involve. also the insurance has to come and we come together in order to build a business model for how they can afford it. in an inbox,

at least, the smaller robotics systems are already playing a role in every day care. but a support for human staff, not as a replacement, think got it. and it was actually a nursing of warm hand. and as you and board are the most important things at all. we aren't going to replace any human care workers. i think that the robotic assistance can give staff more time for care, work and entertain clients in the process. so would you interest her grandmother's care to a robot as we heard, there's so many hurdles to overcome before that could happen because daily life in centers is tightly regulated. however, good care will always require empathetic and responsible human caregiver. also when it comes to supporting people with contribute to generative disorders like parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis,

regular movement and exercise can help slow down the progression of neurological conditions. and project from switzerland. researchers are now harness thing, a powerful tool, the it all started with this ballet at the zurich opera house, entitled, the cellist. it tells the story of jacqueline to pray, a talented english musician who suffered a tragic fate. in her mid twenties, she felt filled with multiple sclerosis and soon lost what she loved most playing the cello. the moving piece was choreographed by the opera's new ballet director casting morris done 2 to 3. just like look him. so $11.00 and then jessica. yeah, exactly. it needs to be nachos, and then the former professional dancer translated m. s. symptoms into artistic

movement. she's familiar with a tremors and weakness the disease causes, and that was personal for me because my mother lives with multiple sclerosis. and so it did feel like something that i was drawn to express in dance if it was interestingly a way for me to understand more about the way that my mother lives now. she still moves around the house. she has sticks, she has a frame, she has a wheelchair for when she goes out to try sometimes to, to go to apply to use and keep moving. i mean, it's obviously compromised in a way, but if it has to keep moving, that's, that's what she really realizes. the awareness of how important movement is for people with them as the choreographer to develop a new dance project called connect the cloud. the, i believe the don'ts and music can change sides can connect as a cooperative project involving 0 opera house, the cities tone,

honda concert hall in partners who specialize in dance therapy, topping that deep well of expertise. the aim is to establish a weekly dance training program for people who face neurological challenges such as multiple sclerosis or parkinson's disease. what i see is that it offers an inspiration, a sense of feeling your body again, of hearing music and moving and expressing yourself to music see movement. and you know, actually my dad has parkinson's. now, that's a recent development and the co, incidental one. but i can see that through moving through making shapes with your body, you find a different relationship against your sense of balance, your sense of muscle control. researchers at the loo, sir in university of applied sciences and ards are involved in a related project. they're investigating how music and dance might help parkinson's

patients. that symptoms include tremors, muscle stiffness, and problems with walking, but also motivation issues. using psychologist don rose, heads up the research. so music has 2 important properties. one is organizational, so this is the rhythm or the beats in the music. so in the matching, this is very simple. can that at that and then the walking steps kind of go in time with the rhythm. and then the other aspect is the motivational side of music. so it makes any exercise more fun thoughts. they've agreed. she's been living with parkinson's for 7 years. also make the most secret, knew that i just get involved with it more when as music, i think of this that music is one of those things that makes every day life easy off in school society for, for the home to acquire data research team set up

a motion capture lab ended subjects are fitted with sensors and their exact movements are recorded by several and for read cameras. the precise measurements are used to create a 3 d model. this allows the scientists to determine the effects of listening to music and dancing directly. the project breaks new ground in parkinson's research. we're looking at functional, my bill, etc. so how they reach for some saying what quality of movement is changing. and of course, we kind of embed this within the dump saying so quite often we will be asking them to do something on one leg and top vieza. but this of course is to really practice the balance. but it doesn't feel like you're practicing balance because everyone's having fund on say what the researchers work closely with the people effective who don't grow, who's called the real experts. many don't want to dance and hairs,

but in groups through a range of different music genres. dismiss hash, it opens up my heart and fills it out. it's just nice. it makes you happy. skids. it's pretty high. one of the subjects in the study these that was diagnosed with arkansas and 6 years ago. she has trouble with some move math and just sometimes clicked by painful muscle graphs. she hopes, taking part and will help her redeem skills that others take for granted. solve the custodial. i realize that i feel like my balance is off when i woke. i want to feel most secure and confident again that i can walk in a straight line and not always leave around thoughts and especially most welcome to you. there's still no cure for parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. but dancing offers people who are affected by those diseases, the chance to remain independent, longer improving their physical control and quality of life and the connect project

and others. some people have never left with dance in the way i have, of course. but what i want to do is offer that you can experience what it is to move your body and an expressive, artistic way. and i want to share that with before, even if they fail, it is too late, or they con, they can to do you have a passion for science and health? check out d, w signs the contract talking. why do coming does not get drunk. why did gravitational waves squeeze out bodies? how much was it? do we need to pay days? do stressed out on screen for help know and what is the perfect queue of football by going beyond says yes, mos on dw science. oh,

take talk channel that sold for this week and tomorrow today, the science show on dw, thanks for joining us and see you again next time. bye for now the, the
