Center for Big Data Analysis in Cardiology

CeBAC

Zielsetzung von CeBAC

Das „Center for Big Data Analysis in Cardiology“ (CeBAC) ist ein Zusammenschluss aus interventionellen Kardiologen und Statistikern, um den gesundheitspolitischen Nutzen neuer und etablierter Therapieverfahren durch Analyse großer Datensätzen aus der klinischen Praxis zu bewerten. Insbesondere im Feld der interventionellen Kardiologie mit hoher Innovationskraft ist eine wissenschaftliche Bewertung des klinischen und gesundheitsökonomischen Nutzen neuer Verfahren sehr wichtig.  

Um dies zu erreichen, hat das CeBAC folgende Ziele und Aufgaben:

  • Interdisziplinäre Plattform zur Analyse großer klinischer Datensätze mit Fokus auf die klinische Kardiologie.
  • Zusammenführen medizinischer und ökonomischer Kompetenz im Kontext gesundheitspolitischer Fragestellungen.
  • Bewertung des klinischen und gesundheitsökonomischen Nutzens neuer und etablierter Therapieverfahren.
  • Analyse der Innovationsdiffusion neuer Therapieverfahren.
  • Bearbeitung gesundheitsökonomischer Fragestellungen der stationären Versorgung.
  • Unterstützung der medizinischen Entscheidungsfindung durch Entwicklung von Deep-Learning Strategien.
  • Schnittstellenfunktion bei der Ausbildung von Studenten und Wissenschaftlern im Bereich von Big Data Analysen.

Kontakt

Als interdisziplinäre Plattform zur Analyse großer klinischer Datensätze, ist das Team um CeBAC an wissenschaftlichen Kooperation auch über die Kardiologie hinaus interessiert. Bei Fragen oder Anmerkungen rund um CeBAC oder Interesse an wissenschaftlichen Kooperationen kontaktieren Sie uns per Email: kard.cebac@list.uniklinik-freiburg.de
