Innovative research for advanced healthcare

The Data Science Group (DSG) Frankfurt is a multidisciplinary scientific working group dedicated to transforming healthcare through advanced medical data science. It focuses on developing innovative solutions that significantly benefit patients and healthcare professionals. By bringing together experts from different disciplines, the DSG Frankfurt explores the potential of electronic health records, analytics tools and predictive modelling for data-driven healthcare. Their research includes continuous monitoring of vital and machine parameters for advanced patient care, brain-computer interfaces for neurological disorders, innovative approaches to obstetric patients medicine and care, and the creation of national dashboards to manage specialised healthcare resources.

Commitment to excellence and interoperability

The DSG is committed to advancing the healthcare system through the use of standardised, interoperable data:

• FAIR data principles: Ensuring that medical data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable across different platforms and institutions.
• Data standardisation: Facilitating the seamless integration of electronic health records to promote efficient data exchange between researchers, clinicians and healthcare providers.
• Interoperable systems: Developing systems that support comprehensive data analysis and predictive modelling, leading to improved patient care and outcomes.
• Data advocacy: Promoting the use and sharing of medical data to drive innovation in data-driven healthcare. The widespread use of standardised clinical formats such as SNOMED International and HL7 Phire as well as common data models such as OMOP is the key to the future of healthcare and DSG Frankfurt is committed to their implementation.

With its technical expertise in managing and analysing large volumes of healthcare data, DSG is at the forefront of medical data science.

Innovations for the future

Imagine if an intensive care tool could monitor more than 200 technical parameters for multiple patients simultaneously and link this data to their individual medical history. The vision of the DSG Frankfurt involves using computers and artificial intelligence to constantly analyse medical data, identify patterns that indicate critical conditions and alert doctors for timely interventions. This innovative approach ensures that medical staff can provide the best possible care, which ultimately saves lives. A diverse team at DSG Frankfurt develops research solutions and life-saving applications, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare.
