Durch Früherkennungsuntersuchungen kann Darmkrebs häufig in einem frühen und oft heilbaren Stadium entdeckt werden. Im Bericht «Krebsforschung in der Schweiz» der Krebsforschung Schweiz spricht Lauren Clack #IfIS über ihre Forschung zur Darmkrebsvorsorge in der Schweiz. Zusammen mit Bianca Albers untersucht sie die verschiedenen kantonalen Screeningprogramme mit dem Ziel, diese Ansätze besser zu verstehen und die Kohärenz der jeweiligen Implementierungsstrategien zu überprüfen.   #Krebsforschung #Krebsvorsorge #Darmkrebs #Früherkennung #PublicHealth #ImplementationScience #uzh

The Implementation Science in Nursing team at #IfIS attended #LIVES2024, the annual congress of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine - ESICM. This year’s event took place in Barcelona and brought together over 5,000 intensive care physicians, anaesthetists, trainees and nursing and allied health professionals from more than 100 countries worldwide. With a diverse scientific program and innovative session formats, it provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and professional networking.   Rahel Naef presented on “Multicomponent family support intervention in Swiss adult intensive care units: FICUS trial cluster baseline characteristics,” while Saskia Oesch shared insights on “Implementation of a nurse-led family support intervention in Swiss intensive care units: Qualitative findings of a summative evaluation (FICUS study).”   #nursing #implementation #healthcare #ppi #nursingscience #familyhealth #uzh #usz #IntensiveCare #CriticalCare Schweizerischer Nationalfonds SNF

🥳 Wow, was für ein schöner Nachmittag! Vergangenen Donnerstag fand zum einen das Kick-Off der neuen Seed Grant-Projekte statt, zum anderen luden wir im Anschluss ein zu unserem diesjährigen Open House. Neben einem kurzen Input durch unsere Geschäftsleiterin Olivia H., stellten sich die neuen Seed Grant-Projekte in spannenden Projektpitches kurz vor. Hier sind sie alle nochmals kurz erwähnt:   ☀️ «Schweizer Solarenergie Geschichten» Das Projekt möchte Solarenergie einfacher verständlich und breiter akzeptiert machen. Dazu sammelt es Geschichten und technische Daten, um die Motivationen, Herausforderungen und reale Leistung von Photovoltaikanlagen zu verstehen. Zum Projekt: https://lnkd.in/dK6Pz_sc   🫁 «PPP – Patient Partnership for Prevention» Zusammen mit Patient*innen und Familienmitglieder untersucht dieses Projekt, wie eine spitalerworbene Lungenentzündung besser vermieden werden kann. Zum Projekt: https://lnkd.in/d2kHvDVf   🐦 «My Neighbourhood Flock» Teilnehmende in diesem Projekt können mit einem intelligenten mit KI ausgestatteten Vogelfutterhaus Daten über individuelle Vögel sammeln. Zum Projekt: https://lnkd.in/ddBaBmd5   ⚡«Chronische Schmerzen im Kindes- und Jugendalter» In diesem Projekt legen Jugendliche mit chronischen Schmerzen gemeinsam fest, welche Fragen ihrer Meinung nach von der Wissenschaft erforscht werden sollen. Sie leiten das Forschungsprojekt und stellen eine Forschungsagenda zusammen. Zum Projekt: https://lnkd.in/d89BdJj5   ✍ «Mit KI schreiben? Kann ich!» Wie nutzen Schüler*innen Künstliche Intelligenz in grösseren Schreibaufgaben? Dieses Projekt erforscht schulische Schreibpraktiken, um herauszufinden, welche Rolle KI im Schreibprozess spielt und welche Kompetenzen dabei wichtig sind. Zum Projekt: https://lnkd.in/dz2wpeyX Schön, wart Ihr alle mit dabei. Wir freuen uns aufs nächste Wiedersehen und wünschen allen Seed Grant-Projekten gutes Gelingen! ➡️ Zum Rückblick: https://lnkd.in/dP9NXsEE   📸 Kick-Off: Olivia Höhener 📸 Open House: Ursina Roffler University of Zurich, ETH Zürich, Mercator Foundation Switzerland, Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care (IfIS), Universitätsspital Zürich, NCCR Automation, ZHdK Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, Benjamin Sawicki, Aline Wolfensberger, André Ferreira, Helen Koechlin, Farah Grassmayr, Daniel Knuchel, Damien Farine, Sabrina Heuss, Mark Moser, Alice Prchal, Lauren Clack, Anna Lisa Martin-Niedecken, Gabriela Hug, Sachit Mahajan, Tiina Stämpfli, Susanne Tönsmann, Stefan Wiederkehr, Jan Seibert, Melanie Brand, Alessandro Rearte, Julienne Karzig, Marina Gagetti, Daniel Böhler, Ursina Roffler

#UpcomingEvent: Keynote by Rasita Vinay on Ethics of AI-Based Voice Assistants for People with Early Dementia   The integration of AI into healthcare is transforming the way we support individuals with cognitive impairments. In this talk, Dr. Rasita Vinay will explore the ethical considerations surrounding voice assistants powered by large language models (LLMs), with a focus on their role in dementia care. She will also introduce GRACE, an LLM-based voice assistant designed to provide cognitive interventions and improve the quality of life for those with dementia.   Don’t miss this insightful session! Registration is not required.   🗓️ Date: 17 October, 2024 🕒 Time: 4:15 pm CET 📍 Zoom: TBA   ➡ More information: https://lnkd.in/efi4MdAm   Tobias Kowatsch Centre for Digital Health Interventions #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #DementiaCare #AIEthics #uzh #VoiceAssistants #AIinHealthcare #uzh

At the Medical Informatics Conference #MIE2024 in Athens, Marie Wosny and Janna Hastings from the Medical Knowledge and Decision Support Group #IfIS presented their paper "Applying Large Language Models to Interpret Qualitative Interviews in Healthcare”.   Their findings suggest that LLMs can complement traditional human-based approaches, such as coding and annotations of qualitative data, opening up exciting possibilities for automating and accelerating qualitative healthcare research. 🩺💡   ➡ conference paper: https://lnkd.in/eBgWKm2S ➡ full interview study: https://lnkd.in/eRztEz3H   #AIinHealthcare #QualitativeResearch #Innovation #uzh EFMI-European Federation for Medical Informatics Universität St.Gallen (HSG)

We are looking for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in medicine, engineering, computer, business, and management science to apply for the "Precision Digital Therapeutics Master Class", 12-17 January 2025, in Singapore!   You will learn what Precision Digital Therapeutics (PDTx) are, how they are designed, evaluated, implemented, scaled, and reimbursed and how generative AI can make PDTx highly personalized.   In this Master Class, clinical experts (medical doctors, nurses, caregivers) with patients bring concrete and pressing problems within the Singaporean Healthcare System to the participants, who then work in groups to build a PDTx prototype in five days. Lectures by national and international experts with a medical, technical, and management background and hands-on coaching sessions leveraging state-of-the-art PDTx and GenAI tools complement this summer school. On the final day, students present their PDTx prototype to the jury of clinical experts, patients, and investors. To this end, participants will develop a PDTx prototype that may generate a business and, with it, societal impact.   ➡ More information: https://lnkd.in/eAEZ6Pc2 Tobias Kowatsch and Jacqueline Mair look forward to receiving your applications.   Centre for Digital Health Interventions Singapore-ETH Centre Nanyang Technological University Singapore CHI - Centre for Healthcare Innovation #DigitalHealth #PrecisionMedicine #AIinHealthcare #GenerativeAI #HealthcareInnovation #MedTech #PDTx #uzh
