Digitalization and eHealth

The digitalization of medicine holds great potential, as digital health data forms an essential basis for innovation in medicine. The systematic use of digital data, including for AI applications to build learning healthcare systems, can help to further develop the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and target the individual more specifically.

Projects on the Topic [German only]

The TMF is a coordinating body for strategically relevant collaborative research projects at national and international levels. It is also involved in many small and large research projects as a specialist partner with a high level of expertise, particularly in legal, data protection, and ethical issues. In addition, she is involved in the development of concepts and project ideas for ministries and scientific institutions - regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Drittmittelprojekt

TEHDAS2 ist eine Joint Action des EU4Health-Programms im Rahmen einer direkten Zuwendung an die Mitgliedsstaaten für vorbereitende Aktivitäten zur Sekundärnutzung von Daten im Europäischen Gesundheitsdatenraum (EHDS). Es sollen Leitlinien und technischen Spezifikationen für Datenhalter, Datennutzer und Gesundheitsdaten-Zugangsstellen erstellt werden, um so die Voraussetzungen für die Durchführung gemeinsamer Maßnahmen zur Sekundär­datennutzung im EHDS zu schaffen.

Third-Party Funded Project

Since 2016, TMF has headed the coordination office of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMFTR), which it operates jointly with the Medical Faculty Association (MFT) and the Association of University Hospitals in Germany (VUD). This is where the staff of the supporting structure work and where the committee meetings take place. This enables close integration with the activities of TMF as the umbrella organization for IT infrastructures and research data management in medicine.
