23 June 2021 - 17:00: Digitalization and diversity: challenges in medical education
Announcement text in German:
Data-supported and data-processing systems are playing an increasingly important role in our everyday lives. There are also more and more applications in the medical field that promise to help physicians and patients. Whether it's finding a diagnosis, managing a chronic illness or processing health insurance data - all areas are covered by digitalization. How can it be ensured that the basic data from these systems generates safe and unbiased results? How can data-driven decision support and digital health applications "discriminate" in order to identify diagnostic and therapeutic paths without pointing in undesirable directions and possibly excluding people in the process? What skills do medical professionals need to have in order to recognize the existing social diversity and eliminate distorting influences in perception as far as possible? In the context of digitalization, these questions take on a new urgency.
Announcement text English:
Data-based and data processing systems play an increasingly important role in our everyday life. In the medical field, too, more and more applications promise to help physicians and patients. Whether it is about finding a diagnosis, managing a chronic illness or processing health insurance data - all areas are covered by digitization. How can it be ensured that the basic data from these systems generate reliable and unprejudiced results? How can data-driven decision support and digital health applications "discriminate" in order to mark diagnostic and therapeutic pathways without pointing in undesirable directions and possibly excluding people in the process? Which competencies do medical professionals have to bring with them in order to grasp the existing social diversity and to eliminate distorting influences in their perceptions as far as possible? In the context of digitization, these questions are given a new urgency.

May 26, 2021 - 17:00: Robotics in medicine
The further development of robotics in medicine is experiencing rapid growth. Whether in the operating room, in Nursing or in rehabilitative therapies - robotic systems are increasingly finding their way into modern medicine. They are in direct contact with humans and, together with artificial intelligence methods, are changing medical practice to a relevant extent. In this event, our guest speaker, Dr. med. dent. Jasmin Grischke, will give an overview of important new developments in robotics in the recent past. Several examples of the use of robots in the healthcare sector will be examined. In addition to presenting the nationwide educational project "Robonatives Initiative", Ms. Grischke will present current research projects in the field of dentronics (robotics and AI in dentistry) and the project "ZeRiG: Center for Robotics in Healthcare" .
- Speaker: Dr. med. dent.Jasmin Grischke, M. Sc.; Clinical Department of Dental Prosthetics and Biomedical Materials, MHH & co-founder and project manager of the Robonatives Initiative
Moderation: Dr. med. Christian Koop and PD Dr. med. Nilufar Foadi, anaesthetist, (both DigiWissMed project team at MHH)
April 28, 2021 - 17:00: AI-based decision support for medical practice: ethical aspects
Digital decision support systems already play a significant role in medical practice and will become even more important in the future. Their use has the potential to integrate large amounts of data into clinical practice for the benefit of patients. At the same time, however, questions also arise about the social and ethical implications of the use of decision support systems.
The lecture will make a first attempt to systematize some of these questions and point out possible solutions. The focus will be on the topics of "Ethics of artificial intelligence", "Human-machine interaction" and "The future of job profiles in healthcare". Finally, perspectives for teaching digital skills in medical training will be presented.
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Dr. Sabine Salloch, Hannover Medical School; Head of the Institute of History, Ethics and Philosophy of Medicine, MHH.
Moderation: Dr. Marianne Behrends; PLRI; DigiWissMed project manager and Dr. med. Christian Koop, DigiWissMed project team member
March 31, 2021 - 17:00: Open Educational Resources in university teaching: features and added value
Digital teaching/learning settings are becoming increasingly important at universities. Against this background, lecturers are often confronted with the need to convert their face-to-face courses to online formats on an ad hoc basis. As they enable adaptation to specific teaching/learning contexts and the individual needs of learning groups, open educational resources (OER) can provide comprehensive support for this conversion process. In addition, the development of OER offers the opportunity to make one's own teaching visible in the academic community. Despite these advantages, there are also obstacles that slow down the demand for the use of OER on the part of universities. In particular, uncertainty regarding legal issues is seen as an obstacle in some places.
In order to create transparency with regard to the use of OER and to promote their use in university teaching, the presentation will look at the characteristics of open educational materials and the opportunities they offer. Particular attention will be paid to copyright and open licensing. In addition, the Lower Saxony OER portal "twillo" will be presented as a sustainable infrastructure for the provision of open educational materials.
Speakers:
- Noreen Krause - Technical Information Library Hannover (TIB), Project Manager OER-Portal Lower Saxony / twillo;
- Yulia Chalina - ELAN e.V., legal assistant in the project OER-Portal Niedersachsen / twillo;
- Britta Beutnagel - Technische Informationsbibliothek Hannover (TIB), research associate in the OER-Portal project. Employee in the project OER-Portal Lower Saxony / twillo
Moderation: Sarah Strathmann, M.A., media scientist, PLRI and PD Dr. med. Nilufar Foadi, anaesthetist, part of the DigiWissMed project team at the MHH

25.11.2020 - 18:00 to 19:30: Digital health in Estonia - learning from the number 1
Estonia is considered an international leader in terms of digitalization. It takes between 3-5 minutes to complete a tax return, the digital citizen portal shows when the car needs to be MOT'd again and the electronic patient file has existed for more than 10 years and has become an integral part of everyday medical life. In an international comparison of digitalization between 17 countries, the Estonian healthcare system is the front runner. In the same comparison, Germany is only in second-last place (Thiel et al., 2019).
Our guest this evening, Priit Kruus, is co-founder and managing director of the digital health start-up Dermtest and manager of the Digital Health study programs at TalTech University in Tallinn.
With his expertise in the field of health technology education and the development and use of digital tools in medicine, Priit Kruus will give us a special insight into the structure and development of a digitized healthcare system and explain the structural and legal framework of health telematics.
Speaker: Priit Kruus, MSc, co-founder and managing director of Dermtest and manager of the study programs f at the "TalTech" University in Tallinn (lecture in English)
Moderation: Dr. Christian Koop
The digitalization of the healthcare system also opens up new opportunities for patients. On the one hand, the variety of information available online offers new opportunities to actively search for health information themselves. Doctor rating portals provide support in choosing a physician, while apps are designed to help patients monitor their own health data and manage chronic illnesses. Communications with health insurance companies are also increasingly taking place via online portals.
The challenge for patients is to find understandable and reliable information and trustworthy sources. The relationship between physicians and patients is also changing due to a new distribution of roles and new patient behaviors. Doctors can take on a greater role as moderators and translators and new questions arise: How will informed patients and physicians meet in the future? How must Communications change in order to ensure therapy at eye level? What is the difference between a video consultation and a conversation in the practice?
Elena Link is a communication scientist specializing in the field of health communication. She will present her research on health-related information behavior and give an outlook on the possible future development of physician-patient interaction.

Medical informatics and medicine are working closely together to shape the digital medicine of tomorrow. But what exactly does such cooperation look like in practice? Where are the obstacles? And what elements contribute to successful interdisciplinary collaboration?
Our guests Antje Wulff, research associate at the Peter L. Reichertz Institute of Medical Informatics at MHH, and Dr. Thomas Jack, intensive care physician in the pediatric intensive care unit at MHH, launched the CADDIE (Cross-Institutional and Data-Driven Decision-Support for Intensive Care Environments) project in the pediatric intensive care unit at MHH in 2016. Together, they developed a clinical decision support system for the early detection of SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome).
The CADDIE project is a vivid example of how clinical data can be used to further improve medical care through the use of digital technologies. This event will take a closer look at the human-technology interface in the clinical setting.
Speakers:
- Antje Wulff, M. Sc., Medical Informatics Specialist, Research Associate at the Peter L. Reichertz Institute of Medical Informatics at MHH and TU Braunschweig
- Dr. med. Thomas Jack, intensive care physician, senior physician in the intensive care unit for pediatric cardiology and intensive care medicine at the MHH
Moderation:

What are digital skills and why are they important in medical education?
The level of digitalization in the German healthcare system is low, both internationally and in a domestic comparison. To change this, we need to start at medical school. But how should teaching on the topic of "digital medicine" be organized if it is only being used hesitantly at universities? The DigiWissMed project is dedicating a series of impulses to this key question. It is aimed at lecturers at medical universities (and anyone else who is interested) who want to prepare students for digitalized medicine through their teaching. This first event will discuss the impact of digital transformation on medical education, possible future scenarios, changes in medical education and specific suggestions for their practical implementation. In addition to the two project managers Marianne Behrends and Sandra Steffens, Jana Aulenkamp, an expert in this field, will be a (virtual) guest, who has dedicated herself to this topic as a driving force for several years - during her studies as President of the Federal Representation of Medical Students in Germany (bvmd), and now as a physician, author and lecturer.
Speakers:
- Jana Luisa Aulenkamp, physician at Essen University Hospital, former president of the bvmd
- Dr. Marianne Behrends, Peter L. Reichertz Institute of Medical Informatics at MHH and TU Braunschweig & Prof. Dr. Dr. Sandra Steffens, Curriculum Development MHH (Project Manager DigiWissMed)
- Marie Mikuteit, Medical Student MHH and Dr. Christian Koop, Physician, Office of Academic Affairs MHH (Moderation of the event; Project DigiWissMed
