Podcast Marketplace Healthcare: ZHAW Digital Health Lab and its activities

The ZHAW Digital Health Lab brings together experts from the fields of biomedicine, health, technology and business, who together create innovations for digitization in healthcare. Alfred and his guest Prof. Dr. Sven Hirsch sit on the board here and launched this ZHAW (Zurich University of Applied Sciences) led platform in 2018. And so it is fitting that Alfred and Sven, heads of the "Center for Computational Health" in Wädenswil, take an inward look in this episode and highlight the added value of such a virtual, interdepartmental organization at the ZHAW.
Both ZHAW colleagues have very different backgrounds. Sven's background is in laser physics, as well as media art, and he is currently primarily involved in biomedical simulations and modeling. Alfred, on the other hand, comes from the field of health economics and, in his daily work, looks at the influence of new technologies on the players in the healthcare system.
In addition to the specialties the two represent, the Digital Health Lab brings together many other competencies to focus digital health activities and create innovation.
Listen into this podcast episode to learn more about Sven Hirsch's research focus on biomedical simulation and how the Digital Health Lab works. In addition, Sven and Alfred provide insights into the two large multi-million projects (funded by the Innosuisse Flagship and the Zurich Universities Digitization Initiative) that the Lab has won as well as about the ZHAW Digital Health Lab Day.

The podcast "Marketplace Healthcare" is the podcast on healthcare management and leadership. Alfred Angerer is a professor at the ZHAW for Management in Healthcare and the founder of Marktplatz Gesundheitswesen. In the podcast he interviews exciting people with whom he discusses the current trends. In doing so, he is looking in a forward-thinking direction that does not neglect topics such as digitalization and process optimization.
