Department of Medical Informatics at the Medical Informatics Europe in Glasgow
The 35th Medical Informatics Europe Conference (MIE 2025) took place in Glasgow, Scotland, from May 19 to 21, 2025. The conference was organized by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI), the British Computer Society (BCS) and the MCO Group. Under the theme “Intelligent health systems - From technology to data and knowledge”, the conference brought together scientists from all over the world to discuss the latest developments in medical informatics. MIE 2025 offered a variety of contributions that provided interactive insights into current research areas. Particular attention was paid to the digital transformation of healthcare: from AI-supported decision support and teaching strategies to user-centric information systems and social and ecological aspects of health (“One Digital Health”) to personalized medicine, mobile health applications and approaches to improving general healthcare.
The Department of Medical Informatics was also represented with contributions at the congress this year.
Lennart Graf (Clinical Collaborative Research Group) presented his article “Towards Interoperable ECGs: Converting Proprietary XML to DICOM”, in which he presents the development of an open source converter that converts proprietary ECG XML files into the standardized DICOM format in order to improve the interoperability of ECG data.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Sax (Head of the Translational Collaborative Research Group) gave a workshop entitled “FAIR interfaces for improved research data sharing and interoperability”.
Friederike Seyderhelm (Clinical Collaborative Research Group) presented her poster on the topic “Privacy Preservation for PET/CT DICOM Images in Clinical Studies”. It dealt with methods for protecting personal data in PET/CT DICOM image data of clinical studies and minimizing risks in the further processing of medical image data, for example in clinical studies, while at the same time maintaining their scientific usability.
