Regarding the background of the research focus:
?
The research focus "Digital Health Research and Artificial Intelligence" aims to address the socio-technical trend, especially of the last decade. Digital health-related data are processed using artificial intelligence methods to support processes related to health, illness, healing, prevention, and well-being. Four areas can be identified that comprehensively encompass social, psychological, communicative, economic, and legal dimensions, in addition to information technology and medical-technical foundations.
?
These four areas are as follows:
?
- Support of 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Decision-Making and Therapy Recommendations
- Optimization of Non-伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Processes in Healthcare Delivery
- Development and Implementation of Personalized Plans for Patients and Prevention Recommendations
- Algorithm-driven Online Environments and Apps for Users outside of 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Care
These four areas take into account the aspect that the functionality of technology depends on cooperation and interaction among individuals, including doctors, medical staff, patients, and users.
?
