Third Party Funds Group - Sub project
Acronym: MIK-BMFTR_MIDIA-Hub-MIRACUM DIFUTURE (NL
Start date : 01.01.2026
End date : 31.03.2028
As part of the first funding phase of the BMBF funding programme ‘Digital Progress Hubs Health’
(DigiHubs), the MIDIA-Hub succeeded in establishing a solution for improved intersectoral doctor-patient
communication between the two university hospitals in Erlangen and the Technical University of Munich as
well as outpatient specialist practices at the locations. This was achieved in the medical fields of multiple
sclerosis and oncology with a doctor-patient portal provided by Siemens Healthineers as a technology
partner.
In the follow-up funding, MIDIA-Hub will concentrate on maximising the joint use of the individual DigiHubs'
solutions for cross-sector digital networking in the healthcare sector. The focus here is on optimising
intersectoral communication between university hospitals and doctors in private practice as well as
intensifying interaction with the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII), the Network of University Medicine
(NUM) and the other DigiHubs. Equally important is the design of the cross-hub use case and the
expansion of the reach through the integration of a GP research practice network.
In the MIDIA-Hub, the existing hub structures are being expanded in a joint use case in the field of multiple
sclerosis with the integration of the Institutes of General Medicine and the connection to GP practices via
the Bavarian Research Practices Network (BayFoNet). The use of the established application Monks -
Doctors on the Net is planned as a technical solution. In addition, a connection to the practices' computer
systems is to be established. To this end, it is planned to use the KIM service of the TI infrastructure and
the developing ePA to record patient data. A prehabilitation app from the partner hub LeMeDaRT will be
used in the cross-hub use case ‘gynaecological oncology’.
