Course
Die Digitalisierung der Medizin ist dabei, die Gesundheitsversorgung grundlegend zu verändern. „Digital Health“ heißt das Stichwort: Mit dem Einsatz digitaler Technologien sollen Gesundheit, Pflege, Leben und Gesellschaft verbessert sowie die Qualität und Effizienz der Versorgung verbessert werden.
In diesem zweiwöchigen openHPI-Kurs lernen Sie die Grundbegriffe von Digital Health kennen. Warum ist Digital Health wichtig für Ihre persönliche Gesundheit? Warum ist die Digitalisierung ein Motor für Innovationen in der Medizin? Diese Fragen werden die drei Professoren Erwin Böttinger, Bert Arnrich und Christoph Lippert vom HPI Digital Health Center beantworten und Sie in Chancen und Risiken der digital unterstützten Gesundheit einführen.

Prof. Dr. Erwin Böttinger
Prof. Dr. Erwin Böttinger is Professor for Digital Health - Personalized Medicine and Head of Digital Health Center at the Digital Engineering Faculty of the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) gGmbH and the University of Potsdam. He is the founding director of the HPI Digital Health Center.
From November 2015 to July 2017 Prof. Dr. Böttinger was the CEO of the Berlin Institute of Health Berlin (BIH) where he played a key role in shaping its forward-looking strategy for 'Personalized Medicine - Advanced Therapies'.
Prof. Dr. Böttinger is considered an international expert in personalized medicine and digital health, in particular for his performance as founding director of the Charles Bronfman Institute for Personalized Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, USA, from 2005 to 2015, where he brought personalized medicine and digital health into clinical use.
Through his many years of research and leadership activities at leading academic medical institutions in the U.S., such as Harvard Medical School, the National Cancer Research Institute (NCI), and most recently the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the physician and scientist is proven for a global perspective on the future of medicine.
Prof. Dr. Bert Arnrich
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bert Arnrich is Professor for Digital Health – Connected Healthcare at the Digital Health Center of the Hasso Plattner Institute.
His research on ubiquitous sensing and computing technologies is directed towards paving the way for transforming healthcare systems from purely managing illness to maintaining wellness everywhere, anytime and for anyone. He has been a PI in several European and national projects. He has co-authored over 120 refereed research publications.
He studied "Informatics in the Natural Sciences" and received the PhD degree Dr.-Ing. for the thesis "Data Mart Based Research in Heart Surgery" from Bielefeld University in 2006. He established and headed the research group Pervasive Healthcare in the Wearable Computing Laboratory at ETH Zurich between 2006 and 2013. He received an EU FP7 Marie Curie Cofound Fellowship in 2013 and was appointed to tenure track professorship at the Computer Engineering Department at Bosporus University until 2017. Between 2017 and 2018 he worked as a Science Manager for Emerging Technologies at Accenture Technology Solutions.
Prof. Dr. Christoph Lippert
Christoph Lippert (Univ. Prof., Dr. rer. nat., *1980) is Chair of Digital Health & Machine Learning at the joint Digital-Engineering Faculty of Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering gGmbH (HPI) and the University of Potsdam.
Christoph Lippert is full professor (W3) for computer science at HPI and the University of Potsdam. He teaches courses In Digital Health, Mathematics, Machine Learning and Statistics in the HPI Master Degree programs and supervises nine PhD projects.
As an expert for digital health with an emphasis on machine learning, Lippert is working on machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, as well as novel applications in medicine. The focus is on advancing the capabilities to predict personal health risks and supporting the personalized prevention of health issues and diseases.
Lippert studied bioinformatics from 2001–2008 in Munich and went on to earn his doctorate at the Max Planck Institutes for Intelligent Systems and for Developmental Biology in Tübingen in the field of computational biology, with an emphasis on genome-associated studies. In 2012, he accepted a position in Los Angeles at Microsoft Research and subsequently carried out work at Human Longevity, Inc. In 2017, Lippert returned to Germany to head the research group “Statistical Genomics” at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, before joining the HPI in 2018.
