Application area Digital Healthcare
Vision
“We are bringing digital technologies to healthcare. We are convinced that digital innovations can play a crucial role in transforming healthcare and help improve the health and well-being of people worldwide.”
The topic of digitalization has significantly influenced medicine for several years. Medical informatics has made great progress in areas such as data processing and the use of medical data.
Despite these achievements, for users in hospitals, there are few tangible benefits. Often, digitalization processes are perceived as additional work, and there are only a few examples that actually provide relief or support in medical practice.
Our goal is therefore to develop digital technologies for healthcare that increase the quality, efficiency, and accessibility of healthcare through interdisciplinary research and practice-oriented applications.
Main topics
- Development and validation of digital health technologies (smart health, eHealth, mHealth)
- Technical and organizational interoperability of digital health technologie
