On 12 July 2022, the ZDF series 37 Grad featured a report on DBIS doctoral student Pia Beyer-Wunsch in the programme "Schlauer als der Rest der Welt - Hochbegabte im Alltag" ("Cleverer than the rest of the world - gifted people in everyday life"), in which her supervisors Prof. Dr. Manfred Reichert and Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Pryss also had their say. The filming location at the University of Ulm was the training hospital To Train U.

ZDF 37 Grad presented Pia Beyer-Wunsch along with two other protagonists. As a doctoral student at the Institute for Databases and Information Systems (DBIS), where she is co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Manfred Reichert and Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Pryss she is investigating the use of humanoid robots in the Ulm Children's Hospital in a research project and wants to clarify to what extent the robot can help reduce stress in children in hospital. In addition to the DBIS and the children's hospital, the Institute of Business Analytics at the University of Ulm is also involved in the project.
