A place for practice-oriented research
Digital Health Lab conducts practice-oriented research into substantive aspects of new digital technologies for monitoring, education, and data-driven coaching, and in support of various target groups:
- We develop research projects within defined criteria.
- We conduct practice-oriented research into wearables, AI, data infrastructure, and blockchain technology in preventive care.
- We involve students in research and innovation through practical assignments and internships.
Explore our research projects
We analyze how multidisciplinary teams can collaborate optimally and which technologies effectively contribute to prevention and monitoring. In addition, we map national and international trends and build a platform to make the latest innovations accessible.
Our test environment provides a secure environment to evaluate and optimize digital health technologies. We support healthcare organizations in the implementation of these technologies and investigate the impact on adherence, health outcomes, and patient engagement. Additionally, we monitor the effectiveness, user experience, and ethical aspects of these innovations to ensure they comply with quality standards and regulations.
Through research, we stay informed of the latest developments in digital healthcare innovation and strengthen the transition to a preventive healthcare system.
