DI­GEMED - Di­gital busi­ness pro­cesses in medi­cine

During intraoperative tumour assessment in the field of neuropathology
(model example: brain tumour), the demarcation from healthy tissue is visually
is performed by the surgeon. To confirm this, a biopsy is taken in the tissue section in question, sent by messenger and examined by a specialised pathologist.
This process requires a great deal of personnel and time. The results are usually only available after the end of the operation, which can result in a second surgical procedure for the patient. The project aims to optimise the process by using new techniques (fluorescence microscopy, telepathology).
The implementation will be so generic that the methodology (eHealth functionality, data protection, connection to telematics infrastructure) can also be used in future digital medicine projects and adapted to other clinical processes.
