Electronic Health (eHealth)

Description

The term eHealth, short for 'electronic health', refers to the use of electronic tools in healthcare and health research. eHealth technologies can be used in all areas of healthcare, such as prevention, diagnosis, data processing, monitoring, therapy or follow-up. The group's vision is the profitable use of modern eHealth applications to significantly improve the healthcare of chronically ill patients and to accelerate scientific knowledge in clinical research. We use chronic tinnitus as a medical application example. With the group's research and eHealth developments, they want to contribute to improving the quality of life of tinnitus patients and explore new therapeutic measures. In a further step, the knowledge gained about eHealth solutions will also be transferred to other clinical pictures and empirically investigated.
