Application area Digital Healthcare
Vision
“We shape the digital healthcare of tomorrow by connecting medical informatics, biomedical engineering, and clinical application.”
The Digital Healthcare research area brings together expertise in medical informatics, biomedical engineering, and digital health research. Its focus lies on interoperable health data infrastructures and European health data spaces, digital health technologies and software as a medical device, digital biomarkers and sensor-based assessments, AI-supported analytics, and patient-centred digital applications.
Our work ranges from the structured capture and integration of health data to the development and evaluation of digital technologies and their application in research, prevention, diagnostics, and healthcare delivery. Our goal is to transform data into actionable knowledge, technologies into clinically applicable solutions, and digital innovations into tangible improvements in healthcare.
The poster serves as a visual summary of the research area and presents Digital Healthcare as an interface between medical informatics, biomedical engineering, and clinical application.
