Guiding Principles

Human-centered digital medicine

We specialize in research and development of software and AI solutions for precise prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. With a strong commitment to scientific excellence and quality, our technologies help master medical complexity and support healthcare professionals in making confident, timely, and evidence-based decisions.  

We are dedicated to advancing digital healthcare that truly focuses on the needs of patients and clinicians. Combining deep medical expertise with software innovation, we contribute to measurable improvements in health outcomes and everyday medical practice.

We shape a healthcare paradigm where reliable technology and human insight together prevent suffering and extend healthy life. Our intelligent digital systems help predict, detect, and counteract disease before it threatens life. They help identify ineffective or unnecessary treatments early, avoiding harm and greatly reducing cost.

Bridging research and clinical application through industry

As part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we build bridges from science to impact. Together with leading industry and clinical partners, we transfer innovative ideas into practice. As a certified institute, we develop customized, quality-assured solutions for integration into medical products.

We aim to drive a connected digital health ecosystem and actively link clinical, research, and industry partners worldwide. These collaborations are built on mutual respect, shared goals, and a deep understanding of clinical and industrial realities. We communicate our innovations openly to foster public understanding and trust in digital medicine.

We are dedicated to shaping a value-driven healthcare system that is effective, sustainable, and affordable – where our focus on maximizing outcomes drives insight into where precision matters most and where investment creates real value.

Collaborative organization as a catalyst for sustainable innovation

We thrive as a collaborative organization, where open innovation leads to shared success. By exploring a diverse range of topics and roles in a project-based environment, we empower our team to develop their talents and pursue personalized career paths. We offer guidance and foster a strong support network of mentors, project leaders, experienced researchers, and a service-oriented administration.

We build agile operations for rapid innovation. We strive for broad involvement in our decision-making processes, without compromising implementation speed. At the same time, we adhere to rigorous scientific and medical standards, fostering excellence of our results.

We are a role model for collaborative organization in R&D – creating a space where decision-making is distributed, responsibility is shared, initiative is encouraged, and expertise flows freely across disciplines and teams. Self-organization strengthens our resilience in a rapidly changing world. 

Empowering excellence: A diverse culture of trust and initiative

We live an organizational culture of lateral leadership that empowers every member to contribute through expertise, self-initiative, and accountability. It fosters a climate of trust, mutual respect, and creativity where everyone takes responsibility to achieve real-world impact.

We believe that discovery and innovation begin with curiosity, that errors spark continuous learning, and that recognition and appreciation fuel professional growth and motivation.

We address conflicts objectively and with the shared belief that solutions are found through constructive feedback and the open expression of needs and perspectives.

We are committed to a diverse, inclusive environment that respects and supports everyone throughout their careers and journeys, regardless of their gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or other personal characteristics.
