INFOPAT (INFOrmation Technology for PATient-centered Healthcare in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region)

The ‘Raum für Gesundheit’ health region in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region is one of the five BMBF-funded “Health Regions of the Future” in Germany. The aim is to connect all actors involved in health care and thus to establish structures and processes that allow the cross-sectoral care of chronically ill people. Starting from the premise of “the citizen and the patient at the center”, technologies are developed that take into account complex treatment processes, the need for care, and the requirements for efficiency and quality. For this purpose, a number of application and development projects involving a wide range of research projects in collaboration with 26 partners from science, research, industry, social services and the public sector are being carried out for diabetes and colorectal carcinoma, around a patient-controlled personal cross-enterprise patient record.

In addition to the overall project management (Prof. Dr. Björn Bergh), MIS also renders the development co-ordination (Dr. Oliver Heinze) and the sub-project management of two development projects. MIS is also responsible for the overall architecture and hardware infrastructure.
