This approach involves working closely with patients to craft technologies and digital solutions that support informed decision-making by both patients and healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As digital health data becomes increasingly integral to healthcare, the institute places a high priority on safeguarding patient data. The focus is on creating secure digital health solutions that protect patient privacy and uphold the principle of self-determination regarding personal health data. This commitment to data security is essential in the rapidly evolving landscape of digital healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enhancing the canton of Bern&#8217;s prominence in digital health research and development<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The institute has already embarked on several patient-focused research projects. Projects like Approches, which involves developing a mobile app for patient relatives, and OpenPROMS, a pilot for collecting patient-reported outcomes, demonstrate the institute&#8217;s commitment to patient-centric innovation. Another notable initiative, the SERO project, focuses on individuals at risk of suicide and their relatives, using the MIDATA health database for secure data storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kerstin Denecke and Serge Bignens, formerly at the helm of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bfh.ch\/en\/research\/research-areas\/institute-medical-informatics-i4mi\/\">Institute for Medical Informatics<\/a> at Bern University of Applied Sciences, will lead the new institute. Denecke, with a background in computer science and medicine, and Bignens, with expertise in engineering and health IT, bring a wealth of experience and international connections to their roles. Their leadership is expected to steer the institute towards pioneering advancements in digital health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The establishment of the Institute for Patient-Centered Digital Health complements the offerings of the Institute for Medical Informatics and <a href=\"https:\/\/ggba.swiss\/en\/csem-will-establish-its-digital-health-center-in-bern\/\">CSEM&#8217;s Digital Health Center<\/a> in Bern, collectively enhancing the region&#8217;s prominence in digital health research and development. This synergy among institutes underscores Bern&#8217;s commitment to advancing healthcare through innovative digital solutions, fostering a collaborative environment that integrates diverse expertise for the betterment of patient care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bern University of Applied Sciences is set to enhance its foothold in medical informatics with the
