Digital Health Research Group (DHRG)
The Digital Health Research Group (DHRG), headed by Kimsey Zajac and Felix Kegel, is an interdisciplinary team dedicated to advancing healthcare through innovative digital solutions. Drawing on business information systems, economics, statistics and data science, we address key challenges in healthcare information systems with the support of industry and governmental partners.
Our research projects include the BMBF-funded NUM-Guide, which explores evidence-based governance in healthcare, and CAGE-TB, an EU-funded initiative for rapid tuberculosis diagnosis using smartphone audio analysis. We have successfully completed EU-funded initiatives such as the WHO-PEN@Scale project to improve diabetes and hypertension care in the Global South. We are also collaborating with several universities and university hospitals, for example working with the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) on AI-driven medical report analysis and developing MITMED, a BMBF-funded telemedicine solution to improve video-based psychotherapy.
Together, we are shaping the future of digital healthcare to enhance patient care and improve health outcomes globally.
Kimsey Zajac Felix Kegel KISSKI aims to develop tailored AI-as-a-Service solutions to address the increasing demands in the field of artificial intelligence, especially concerning medical and energy-related infrastructures… MITMed aims to develop a hybrid interaction system that complements video-based psychotherapy in situations where face-to-face contact is not possible. The system will... AuMEDa aims to create a platform for automated information and feature extraction from paper-based medical documents by using different technology stacks... In the global context, tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest diseases. Hereby, effectiveness of possible treatment is highly dependent on timely detection.… The core competence of the DHRG is focused on the user-oriented evaluation of new technologies and concepts. Thus, our primary objectives include the development and testing of innovations, and the creation of business models and information systems regarding intelligent, effective and efficient healthcare. We pursue the collaborative development of scientific publications by working in an interdisciplinary research environment within these areas of research and application in order to exchange knowledge within both the scientific and practitioner communities.
