Digital Health Research Group (DHRG)
Headed by Dr. Maike Greve, the Digital Health Research Group (DHRG) is an interdisciplinary research team that draws from the fields of business information systems, economics, statistics, and data science to investigate topics related to healthcare information systems. In this regard, the research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to help guide the rapidly evolving healthcare industry towards improved capabilities via digital means. The DHRG collaborates with several industry and governmental partners, including its status as a research partner in the EU funded pioneer project "WHO-PEN@Scale". Furthermore, we also participate in industry projects, for instance, applying artificial intelligence approaches to analyze medical reports in cooperation with the Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG). Similarly, in a strategic partnership with the Rezeptprüfstelle Duderstadt (RPD), we examine innovative potentials of machine learning algorithms in the field of medical business processes. This includes the explorative analysis of big process data sets, the implementation of innovative IT artifacts, and the derivation and evaluation of new data-driven business models.

MehrCore competences and fields of application of the DHRG
The core competence of the DHRG is focused on the user-oriented evaluation of new technologies and concepts. Thus, our primary objectives include the development and testing of innovations, and the creation of business models and information systems regarding intelligent, effective and efficient healthcare. We pursue the collaborative development of scientific publications by working in an interdisciplinary research environment within these areas of research and application in order to exchange knowledge within both the scientific and practitioner communities.- Development and experimental testing of digital health solutions and business models.
- Acceptance research regarding new healthcare information systems (via user surveys or methodical analysis, e.g. structural equation modeling).
- Development of information systems in the context of healthcare and well-being (such as online platforms and mobile applications).
- Application of data mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence to derive health-related information and knowledge from data.
