Research &
Innovation
Patient-centered research, implementing innovation: There are many possibilities to improve health care, to focus on results and thus unify the interests of patients, health carers and funding bodies. Our international research focus on new and especially digital approaches, which we evaluate during everyday use.
Innovative research transforming the current landscape
We can make the health system more sustainable, patient centred and more economical with new forms of health care and innovative technologies. What brings patients the largest benefit? Which interventions are especially efficient? And how can they be added to the regular health care? We want to answer these and other questions and to this end we cooperate in numerous international research and InnovationsFond (German federal instrument that funds integrated healthcare and health services research) projects with worldwide experts. Our focus is on health data analytics, patient-centred health care and the implementation of innovations, including digital innovations. We have close cooperation with our health regions, for example in Baden-Wurttemburg and North Hessen, with several research institutes and associations who are members of the International Network of Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Services, an international association run by OptiMedis.
