Digital medicine has seen rapid development in recent years. The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms opens up new possibilities in diagnosis, data collection, decision-making, and personalized medicine. It allows large amounts of data to be analyzed in detail, making it accessible to biomedical research.
Challenges include data privacy, data security, ethical responsibility, and the human factor in medical decision-making in an ever-changing environment.
Digital Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine is currently being developed based on the Strategies 2030 of the University of Bern and the Faculty of Medicine, including interaction with the Inselspital. In addition, national initiatives related to Digital Medicine (e.g. SPHN / Biomed IT Node, Swiss Digital Pathology Initiative, Open EM Data Network u.a.) are important drivers of development.
