MIRACUM-DIFUTURE Symposium 2025

Dresden expertise in focus at the 3rd MIRACUM-DIFUTURE Symposium 2025

On September 30 and October 1, 2025, the 3rd MIRACUM-DIFUTURE Symposium – MIDISymp2025 – took place at Chemnitz University of Technology. Under the motto “Share data, live science, strengthen democracy,” around 180 experts from the fields of medicine, research, and digitalization discussed the future of medical informatics.

An 11-member team from Dresden University Hospital (HSMD) was on site, consisting primarily of the Center for Medical Informatics (ZMI) and the Trust Office of the Technical University of Dresden. Our Dresden researchers provided impetus through presentations, session chairs, and in the panel discussion:

The symposium offered deep insights into current developments in medical informatics and the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) and served as a platform for exchange between science, clinics, and practice. The strong participation from Dresden shows that the HSMD plays a key role in digital health research.
