HPI Digital Health Cluster
 

Research and partnerships

Our research cluster has immense expertise and covers a broad research spectrum, addressing four key aspects of health: Prevention, Diagnostics, Therapy, and Protection. Our unique selling point is our ability to tackle health challenges from both the individual and population levels. At the individual level, our research supports medical experts in adapting precision medicine, ranging from targeted protection strategies and specific diagnostics to personalized therapy support. We also adopt a holistic perspective beyond the individual, focusing on public health to improve health outcomes on a larger scale. This includes exploring factors like health behavior and community-based interventions, addressing global healthcare challenges such as aging populations, lack of medical professionals, costs, and equitable access. Furthermore, we delve into the economics of digital health, a critical area for our cluster's development.
