About
The interdisciplinary Digital Health Lab Düsseldorf is headed by Falko Schmid (responsible for the technological and methodological aspects) and Dr. med. Hug Aubin (responsible for the medical aspects). Digital Health Lab Düsseldorf researches at the interface of clinical use cases and research-oriented technology development. Our work is focused on immediate benefits for patients and physicians to exploit the full potential of digitalization in health. The focus of Digital Health Lab Düsseldorf is on the development of patient-oriented solutions to improve the education of physicians, to improve multidirectional communication between medical experts and patients, and to assist physicians with diagnosis, treatment and care.
Digital Health Lab Düsseldorf uses immersive technologies such as mixed and virtual reality, 3D visualizations, dedicated interaction devices and methods of artificial intelligence to develop user-centered, intuitive assistance systems. At the heart of these systems is the development and research of social interaction, interaction methods and understandable visualizations.
