Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC) Cologne

The University Hospital of Cologne (UKK) and the Medical Faculty of the University of Cologne (MFUzK) are participating in the Medical Informatics Initiative (MI-I) and the University Medicine Network (NUM), both of which are funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space. The MI-I and NUM aim to make the best possible use of the opportunities offered by digitization in medicine for healthcare and research. To this end, Medical Data Integration Centers (MeDICs) have been established and networked at the participating university hospitals and partner institutions. In recent years, these centers have created the conditions for making research and care data available across locations. At the same time, innovative IT solutions have been developed for specific medical applications that leverage the possibilities of modern digital services and infrastructures in the healthcare sector.
