Session Type: Oral


The advancing digitalization of medicine and health promoting options will further change the healthcare system in the coming years. Technical innovations in hardware and software will enable personalized prevention, more precise diagnoses and more individualized therapies. How far it will improve health care and reduce costs in the long term, is part of current studies which will be brought together in this session. For this reason, we welcome contributions, that deal with digitalized health promotion and disease treatment and contributions that examine the acceptance of these digital applications in the population with empirical data (A). Furthermore, we are interested in conferring about cause-effects and selection effects (B). Experimental approaches are desirable. The interplay of regional healthcare structures and digitalized possibilities can be addressed as well (C). These insights may help generating health related social sustainability (D), which can also be discussed.
