The Fraunhofer IIS Mobile Health Lab Bamberg is developing an IT platform for telemedicine. Called the Digital Patient Manager (DPM), the solution provides a network that connects service providers across all sectors and creates a decentralized infrastructure for medical communication. The system enables the automatic collection of individual patient data and its exchange between users and their healthcare provider (physician, hospital, therapist), with patients themselves determining who has access to which parts of their data. Likewise, healthcare providers can make all relevant information available to patients using the same system.

The four funded companies of the Medical Valley Center Bamberg (dmac, mobile health lab, HTK and Skills LAB) started their work in Bamberg at the beginning of 2019. They are spread over various locations throughout the city. Now the Medical Valley Center Bamberg is to be given a visible home in an attractive, young environment – on the so-called Bamberg Lagarde Campus along the Berliner Ring and directly adjacent to the LAGARDE1 Digital Start-up Centre. The planned Medical Valley Center Bamberg is to establish itself nationwide as a leading innovation Center and nucleus for the settlement of companies in the health sector. An innovative care Center will take up the largest share of the area, ensuring that innovative, digital care support systems from the fields of sensor technology, robotics and IT can be ? there. In addition, the Center will provide space for start-ups from the healthcare sector, which will be attracted by the projects supported through their work as accelerators and/or their international reputation. Specialist medical practices, pharmacies, for example, and office space for healthcare related companies are also conceivable as a supplement here.
