Health Care Research & Community Health
The main area of research encompasses the design of health-promoting and preventive measures as well as efficient healthcare from the patient level to the system level. The focus is on individual health, the living environment and the sustainability of structures.
This main area of research at Bochum University of Applied Sciences concentrates on the design of health-promoting and preventive measures and on the further development of efficient healthcare, from the individual level of patients to systemic structures. The focus is on the professionalisation of healthcare professions, the quality and equal opportunities of care, the health-promoting design of urban living spaces and concepts for person-centred care.
The researchers pursue an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach that combines scientific findings with practical solutions. A particular concern is to develop evidence-based and innovative care models, reduce health inequalities and promote health in different living environments in a sustainable manner, always in collaboration with partners from science, practice and society.
