M. Sedlmayr Lab: Medical Informatics
Participatory decision-making, personalised medicine, demographic change, digitalisation and many more buzzwords describe the challenges that the health care system is facing through ever new procedures and technologies. In this context, IT systems that accompany their users and provide situational support, for example by automatically collecting, providing and evaluating data, as well as visualising it, are becoming increasingly important.
As a result, medical informatics is also undergoing a change, moving away from the more classic topics of hospital IT towards digital ecosystems, which include aspects of data development (e.g. from clinical systems and new intersectoral infrastructures), data integration (syntactic and semantic) and data harmonisation (transfer to standard terminologies such as SNOMED-CT, LOINC). On this basis, the computer-assisted evaluation (Big Data and machine learning methods) and the final presentation (e.g. as interactive dashboards or multi-omics networks) of the data take place. In this context, an interdisciplinary overlap between core informatics, medical informatics and bioinformatics, but also medical technology, systems medicine and other disciplines can increasingly be observed in view of the complexity and diversity of the solution approaches used. Consequently, the focus of the Chair of Medical Informatics is on the development of such an ecosystem for medical research and care.
