Digital Medicine
Digital Medicine supports and shapes medical and healthcare processes in times of digital transformation. It conducts interdisciplinary research into methods, technologies and framework conditions in order to identify gaps in medical care and implementation hurdles and to design and implement strategies to overcome them sustainably.
Our research focuses on
We are shaping the future of digital medicine: with products and processes tailored to needs and requirements, we develop solutions that really work. Innovative methods for implementing and evaluating translation processes bring digital innovations into practice.
But technology alone is not enough - we critically scrutinise the ethical, legal and social implications of digitalisation and open up new ways of imparting knowledge in medical education and training.
From Quality in Digital Medicine and Space Health to Seismocardiography and Ballistocardiography - we research the most exciting cross-cutting topics in digital medicine.
Research projects
MeCS-Kol
The aim of the MeCS-Kol project of the medical school OWL is to research and improve the care of people with disabilities and chronic diseases. In this context, Digital Medicine is working with project partners from the faculty to design a digital learning platform for teaching and training in dealing with these patient groups.

KORVEKSiS is dedicated to the overarching research question of how seismocardiographic signals (SCG) can be clearly characterised with resource-limited sensor technology in order to be able to offer cost-effective, portable alternatives to classic imaging methods for diagnostics and monitoring in medical care, prevention and health promotion in the future.

SArES
In preparation for the Artemis moon missions, the development of radiation-tolerant health sensors is of crucial importance. The SArES project aims to monitor and improve the cardiovascular health of astronauts in space conditions.

With the AI-supported learning format SimulAItients, we are developing an innovative tool for training medical decision-making ("clinical reasoning") and clinical skills. Using dialogue-based, text-controlled patient avatars, SimulAItients enables individual training that is independent of time and location.
