StartupSÜD Summit: HNU researcher talks about the future of smart healthcare

22.10.2024, Transfer:

What role will digital solutions play in the healthcare of the future - and how can the healthcare system and society benefit from smart healthcare? HNU Professor Dr. Johannes Schobel addressed these questions at the StartupSÜD Summit, which brought together around 350 people interested in founding a company on the Ulm University campus on October 10, 2024 under the motto “Let's create future”.  

The HNU scientist took part in the “Startup Arena” at this year's summit - a debate format that brought together representatives from science, start-ups and companies to take a look at the Earth of the future in the form of a literal “moonshot”: What impact have innovative technologies brought to this thought experiment, for example in the fields of energy, medicine or smart cities?

Prof. Dr. Johannes Schobel, computer scientist and research professor for “Digital Medicine and Care”, is developing new concepts and approaches at the DigiHealth Institute to drive forward digitalization in the healthcare sector. His research interests include mobile health applications (mHealth apps), artificial intelligence in healthcare - particularly for the detection and assessment of tumors - and (structured) data collection in clinical and psychological studies.

Based on this expertise, Prof. Dr. Schobel presented his vision of future smart healthcare in the “Startup Arena” and explained how digital solutions could have a lasting impact on healthcare in Germany in the coming years and decades.
