DIFUTURE is one of the four consortia selected by the German Ministry of Education and Research for funding during the development and networking phase in the Medical Informatics Initiative .
DIFUTURE aims at providing data of comprehensive depth and breadth to physicians and to medical researchers. We will work on an acceleration of innovation, improved health care processes and decision support, resulting in tangible benefits for the patient.
Data integration and data sharing will be essential to future medicine, but they will require a high level of data security. Privacy, security, and patient trust play a significant role in DIFUTURE; innovative approaches are pursued to ensure a very high level of security. The strengths of the informatics department of TU Munich will be an important pillar of this approach.
