3rd Heidelberg Spring Symposium Medical Informatics - Medical Information Systems for Innovative Research and Care

May 28, 2025, 12:00 to 16:00 

Venue: Marsilius-Arkaden at Heidelberg University Hospital (100 participants on-site and live-broadcast via Internet)

Information systems are an important foundation for excellent patient care and research in medicine. Digital medicine can only be successfully implemented if excellent information systems are available. After the very successful Symposium 2024 , we would like to promote scientific exchange in Europe and Germany on this topic and therefore cordially invite you to the 3rd Heidelberg Spring Symposium on Medical Informatics. Due to the great progress and medical relevance in this area, we explicitly invite you to submit contributions on AI-enabled medical information systems with Large Language Models (LLMs) as well as Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).
Specific topics of interest for the symposium:

Medical Information Systems

  • Use cases and evaluations for AI /  LLMs
  • Design: metadata, structured patient data, data models with semantics, interoperability
  • Implementation: quality assured information systems (MDR & GCP), clinical decision support (CDS)
  • Evaluation: Clinical benefits of digitization

Research compatible information systems

  • Innovative study databases
  • ETL, EDC and data quality

Patient-centered applications

  • PROMs
  • Digital health applications


Abstracts (max. 350 words / 5 references) can be submitted until January 15, 2025 (submission deadline)
