Also presented MORE and LBI-DHP at FH Salzburg to a diverse digital health audience, thanks to Alex Kollmann & team for initiating.
November was about collaboration and knowledge sharing across our digital health ecosystem. Excited to continue these conversations. #DigitalHealth #ScienceForSociety
💡November Recap: Connecting with partners in digital health. We presented to the #ALPS delegation (27 countries) about Austria’s innovation landscape, LBI-DHP’s role in digital health research, and potential collaborations. Thanks to Salzburg Research & Innosbg for hosting & organizing. 🌍✨
👏 Congratulations to Florian Katsch on defending his thesis on December 12, on integrating PGHD and EHR data into the OMOP CDM. Florian joined LBI-DHP in 2021, worked with PI Rada Hussein, and earned his degree at the Medical University of Vienna under Univ.-Prof. DI Dr. Georg Duftschmid.
#career
Our PI, Rada Hussein, attended the Global Digital Health Alumni Project Week (Germany, 20–26 Nov 2025) as a DKFZ alumnus.
The week focused on the intersection of Digital Health, AI, Ethics, and Ageing. Rada presented LBI-DHP projects and joined the DKFZ Alumni Advisory Board! 🎉

From innovation to collaboration, the OIS zam: Forum 2025 showed how science and society can work hand in hand! 🤝 LBI DHP presented:
🛤️ Prehab2Rehab: Digital, personalized support before & after surgery
🌱 KlimaFit: Digital tools helping vulnerable groups adapt to climate change
#ScienceForSociety
📢 New open-access in BMC Medical Research Methodology.
Together with Medical University of Vienna, Semmelweis University, and University of Pécs we developed a semiautomatic approach to map Austria’s national drug terminology to international standards (RxNorm & RxNorm Extension).

🩺 New paper at Pervasive Health 2025
We explore healthcare professional insights on how wearable data can support personalized physical activity planning in cardiac rehab - pointing to design needs for trust, workflow integration, and adaptive data sensemaking.
#PervasiveHealth #DigitalHealth #PGHD
🙏 We would like to thank our Advisory Board (consisting of Lisette van Gemert-Pijnen, Elisabeth André, Duncan Barron, Jaap Ham, Victoria Hamer, and Marc van Kempen) for offering valuable reflection, feedback and suggestions on our work.
#ScienceForSociety
📅 Last week, our LBI for Digital Health & Prevention hosted a fruitful Scientific Advisory Board meeting with international experts. We shared exciting research insights, now working to strengthen #digitalhealth innovation in the regional and cross-regional ecosystem, as our SAB recommended !💡
Today is #WorldHeartDay! ❤️🌍 Every heartbeat matters. At LBI-DHP, we use digital tech to help people stay active and build healthy habits. 💪 As World Heart Day turns 25 today, here’s a challenge: move for at least 25 mins today — run, cycle, dance, or simply walk. Every step counts!
#DontMissABeat
How can we make staying active more engaging? 🤔 Our research on Active Audio Adventures (presented at MuC 2025) shows that blending storytelling, gamification & real-time cues (like haptics) boosts motivation, lowers cognitive load & supports sustainable activity 🏃♂
#DigitalHealth #ScienceForSociety
🫀⌚ What if your smartwatch could flag inaccurate heart rate readings? At #MUC2025, we presented a real-time DL system that detects PPG errors without raw data, boosting trust in digital health. Thanks to all co-authors!
