360 and explore fascinating. both heritage spelling w world heritage 360. now 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 whites down to therapies 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 dw 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. nothing in cost and nothing. he had his head tilting back like this is an initial thing of really po, down like an egg system this week. so that's not normal kind of copy. normally do that. let's look. so we headed straight to 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 this name. your life changes really fast. one minute everything's fine. if you have a healthy child, then everything changes on this, this diagnosis and you have to get through it that you have no other choice or more

than 2000 children in germany are diagnosed with cancer every year. at the hop, children's cancer center in heidelberg, all that has a project that gives hope to young patients. if it's once it puts into can uh, for 20 percent of our child patients, we don't currently have any effective therapies available so entirely. so that's partly due to the fact of kansas in children and other lessons are different significantly from those in adults. dorothy funding as of oxygen i just what i mean is that drugs which have mainly been developed adults are no longer simply transfer 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 when i'm gonna take them off. here's what the m r i showed us some push and everything that's larger in color here is the cancer often verifying the image, everything looked close stop service. it was like a rope around his neck. he was already getting it through a hole, 2 or 3 millimeters. wine was ever so minimal that when they put him down to sleep,

they had to give him adrenalin cortisone to open up his airway and the state told us that it was so tiny just had to bring the wrong ones. and that would be at 1st off in nevada, i crewed urgently needed a drug to stop the tumor that 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 up too long. just because she said we taking into biopsy and send it to heidelberg to see what might help isn't come to her samples. from all over europe present 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 character takes 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 market, 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 age exposed to a particular cancer drug on behalf of a young patient is, i mean you come in our program helps pinpoint the right medication for the patient from a wide range of possibilities individual inputs in the police div i also sent 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 in the plate contains and many

tumor, which is treated for 3 days. the maybe cut off to the drugs have been dispensed. we look at whether the mini team is dying. we want to see the cancer cells react and find out which drugs they react to. we've tried the cells and when the sample tends green, we know the silva starting to die. that's when a drug, the zeros of interest. to see it. that way, many different substances can be tested simultaneously from a multitude of choices. the doctors condense, select promising candidates and exclude therapies that aren't likely to help me to come at and testing our drug program is in the late experimental phase of them and to 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 have in systematically evaluated in a large number of patients. yeah. and on this on and i was that. and so i from puts in this tomato sauce cuz that the lender lenders list sensitivity profiling help. i

codes, oncologist and mines, choose a truck that's normally used to treat melanoma. they already noticed a difference after the 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 i've groups, cancer tissue. the drug sensitivity profiling process worked initially as big as a tangerine i. coach tumor has now shrunk to the size of a razor, and get sofa is doing great feed. he plays, he runs around lives, his life. i live. he doesn't have breathing problems anymore. i mean, honestly, just better. who is alma from 12 to us. it's like if things stay like this, he has a chance to live a life 5 who 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. and how old

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 3 lives in no small part on the atmosphere in award. when it comes to architecture, most clinic sacrifice of fedex to folks from function. but with the right planning, the to can go hand in hand. an 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 was based architectural firm held. so again, to move 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. the cost came with us, either mice that'll have money about one of the big issues. most hospitals have long corridors lined with doors failed, and you're usually guided to where you're going with arrows. different colors of signs to show you the way. on an op 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 10 interior court yard, skip rehab, basel and 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 like a deal to you. 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 just for fear of pathogens coming in from outside. but it's a huge improvement the quality in the large opening, the fresh air difference, 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, if they don't see it or that you reduce the stress or prevented in the 1st place,

then patients experienced significantly less nausea during certain therapy. that pain is measurably reduced treatments cause less anxiety. patients are willing to have a therapy and don't reject ugly. and there's also a fairly old study by an american colleague found that in patients are easier to care for, legalized doesn't, form is university studies and biology and psychology have also shaped or research happen and ask focus creation which via kind my 1st conversations with people seriously ellwood 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 fall into a dark hole. no, i'm standing in front of a wall, i'm stuck on the fly when the body falls seriously hill space it inhabits those 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 on a table, staff fathers, 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. little technology seen being able to fill the gap with robots, maybe one day in the distant future. put some mechanical harpers, at least, are already proving to be able assistance. good morning, highlanders and team were 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 schuman though ident appearance, but that's a big advantage. this is on a could. it helps wind 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 our pep or your fitness trainer. i hope you feel like doing a few exercises with the today. a bowling 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 now and take a full,

jamie cut alert the human staff. it's another layer of safety and the daily routine . the me definitely definitely. so 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 down. 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 of the split bones. so we never do that though, because it's important to us that the human care isn't replace. and then there's always a care giver there and cost me on business. 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. gone 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 on your 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. ok, good to assign, but i will carry out a remote exam with gummies help. with the aid of tactile sensors gone, the can assess the patient 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. i 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. 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 $300000.00 euros on the medical devices. it is, it is just but we want to go low cost. but this one, it's not only depending 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 and then box. at least the smaller

robotic 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, a warm hand and a human word are the most important things at all. we aren't going to replace any human care workers, but 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 operas new by late director testing morris. done 2 to 3. just like look him. so $11.00 and then jessica. yeah, exactly, it needs to be nachos and then he's a former professional dance or a 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 fixed, 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 a co, incidental one. but i can see that 3 moving, see making shapes with your body. you find a different relationship again, to a sense of balance, your sense of muscle control researchers that the looser and university of applied sciences and arts are involved in a related project. they're investigating how user 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 buy a greens she's been living with parkinson's for 7 years. also make the most. he gives me 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 sites. so quite often we will be asking them to do something on one leg and tap 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 funds 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. food is just nice. it makes you happy. skids 3, the height one of the subjects in the study these that was diagnosed with arkansas in 6 years ago. she has trouble with some move math and just sometimes plague 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 tour 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 and 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 people, even if they feel 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 do 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, tick, tock, channel. that's all 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

so that's the base and the middle. one of the 2 is the most of the core is addition from the west african er insurance and your theme concept tools. but for that then just to the coming up, the key is taking shots. newton's 9. waiting for
