Stiftung Charité Excellence Initiative Johanna Quandt, 2019-2021

Falk Müller-Riemenschneider joined the BIH Digital Health Center as Visiting Professor, funded by Stiftung Charité, in June 2019. Falk is Professor for Public Health at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore (NUS). At NUS, his work focusses on behavioural risk factors for the prevention of cardio-metabolic and other non-communicable diseases in different population groups. Falk leads a multi-disciplinary strategic research programme (http://blog.nus.edu.sg/sphpanda/) that develops methodologies and integrates technologies which enable more continuous and detailed monitoring of health and behavioural risk factors while individuals go about their daily lives. Through his appointment as Visiting Professor, Falk will establish new research collaborations with investigators from the BIH Digital Health Center and the Charité. This research will focus on the implementation of wearable and smartphone technologies for continuous real-life monitoring in population-based studies and inform the development and evaluation of personalised digital health interventions.
