From personalized medicine and programmatic advertising to AI platforms for digital art - the influence of digital technologies on entrepreneurial and social fields of action is omnipresent.

As part of the BMBF-funded EHDS4ALL project, we are helping start-ups and SMEs to develop innovative products and services with the help of health data. Specifically, we are investigating the new business models and roles of the emerging European Health Data Space (EHDS for short). To this end, we are developing a qualification program "SMEs in the European Health Data Space". Together with a broad network of corporate partners, we are developing application scenarios for the EHDS and systematically compiling empirical knowledge. The project partners cover the new roles of SMEs in the health data space and focus on the areas of "Clinical Research", "Public Health" and "Therapy & Care" (see also www.ehds4all.de ). At the chair, we coordinate the scientific monitoring of the use cases and identify technical, regulatory and economic barriers in order to propose concrete solutions.
