New technologies create knowledge-based perspectives
Demographic developments, risks from global pandemics and an increase in chronic diseases require innovative solutions for prevention and healthcare. Biotechnology plays an important role here in the areas of food security, environmental protection and sustainability, but also in the innovation of pharmacological and medical technology developments. A digitalized healthcare system promises more efficient processes and is driving the transformation from an experience-based to a knowledge-based approach and thus to personalized medicine. However, this also raises questions about the use of data: how can previously unused data silos be made accessible for research and development and thus for better diagnostics and therapy, while at the same time protecting sensitive patient data? The Life Sciences and Health program area is developing forward-looking solution concepts for this.
The future of medicine: technologies for an efficient healthcare system
In order to future-proof healthcare and ensure a consistently high level of care quality, the focus is shifting to previously untapped potential: comprehensive digitalization and an accelerated transfer of new scientific advances into everyday medical practice can make processes more efficient and thus increase patient well-being. The targeted reduction of the urban-rural divide in the quality of medical care can also contribute to the uniform maintenance of the population’s health.
