DigiMed Bayern – a pilot project for P4 Medicine
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Beckmann, Benedikt Perl
P4 medicine (predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory) is one of the world's most promising developments for improved, holistic and efficient health care. DigiMed Bayern's goal is to guide Bavaria into this medicine of the future with a lighthouse project.
In our work package within the project (WP 1.2) we address an integration of current research data regarding coronary heart diseases in order to enhance health behaviour for patients and people with risk factors. An online platform and application will be developed to address important risk factors such as physical behavior, eating diet and stress. Users will be provided general information, but most importantly an interactive interface to assess personal risk factors and receive personalized recommendations and interventions online. The core element will focus on personal variables of users (personal competences, skills, motivation, expertise, stage in health behavior) to personalise and economise the delivered interventions. In addition, data from the user and the medical personal will be currently integrated with the research data to create synergetic values and a constantly improving online platform.
