Berliner Institut für Gesundheitsforschung (BIH)

The Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) is a central player in medical translation, whose mission is to transfer insights from biomedical research into new approaches for personalized prediction, prevention, diagnostics, and therapy. The goal is to achieve a relevant medical benefit for patients and citizens, thereby improving healthcare[2][4].

• Digital Health Solutions: The BIH Digital Labs focuses on the development of innovative Digital Health solutions through the convergence of new technologies such as 3D printing, Augmented/Mixed/Virtual Reality, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, sensors, and software with life sciences and healthcare[1].
• Accelerator Programs: The BIH Digital Health Accelerator program supports teams in developing and launching their innovative Digital Health solutions through funding, mentoring, network access, and interdisciplinary collaboration[1].
• Networking and Collaboration: Offers like Match & Connect enable the networking of technology and Digital Health companies as well as employees of Charité and BIH for mutual exchange and collaboration[1].
• Events and Forums: Regular events such as the Digital Health Forum and the Charité BIH Entrepreneurship Summit promote networking within the Digital Health ecosystem[1].

The BIH is working on establishing a comprehensive translational ecosystem that relies on a cross-organ understanding of health and disease. It promotes a translational cultural change in biomedical research to achieve a relevant medical benefit in the long term. Through close cooperation with the Max Delbrück Center and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, technological platforms are being built and further developed to advance medical research and translation[2].

The BIH Digital Labs team brings together interdisciplinary expertise from international work experience in the public and private sectors. The experts cover a wide range, from user research and medical design to product development, clinical validation, corporate strategy, and innovation structures[1].

The Berlin Institute of Health is thus a central institution that shapes the future of medical care through innovative research, close collaborations, and comprehensive support offerings.
