In 2024, the focus of the Symposium was on “big” and high-dimensional health data in clinical research with impact on healthcare. Special attention was paid to the required collaborative and future-proof IT infrastructure.
The DigiMed Bayern partners have presented the progress of the diverse projects in translational and data-driven research on cardiovascular diseases. In addition, renowned external experts have provided insights and input in the in the field of digital medicine and health data - from multi-omics signatures and AI diagnostics to the development of machine learning algorithms and the use of imaging data. This event was a great platform to learn, network and discuss with exciting speakers and participants about advances in data-driven medicine and its potential for patients, science, the health system, the economy and for the society as a whole.
The DigiMed Bayern Symposium is the public annual conference of the flagship program "DigiMed Bayern - for the medicine of the future".
The Bavarian flagship program DigiMed Bayern aims at incorporating the holistic concept of P4 medicine (predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory) into medical practice to improve effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare. To achieve health improvements, world-leading university hospitals collaborate closely with research institutes in the fields of epidemiology, biology, biochemistry, omics technologies and data sciences. Beyond the clinical and scientific focus, data protection and legal questions, medical ethics and sociological topics are complementary and fundamental to the project. An ambitious and visionary goal is the creation of a compliant and secure cloud IT-infrastructure to support collaborative health-related research and development. The greater vision is to trigger real-life improvements in personalized disease identification and risk prediction, prevention, management, and treatment for patients and individuals at risk. With that, DigiMed Bayern contributes knowhow, blueprints and infrastructure also to other institutions and disease areas.
