Our Mission Statement

All of our researchers are healthcare and nursing professionals with many years of practical experience in various fields and a wide range of additional qualifications.
We conduct research to promote the professionalization and further development of healthcare and nursing, to do justice to the complexity of nursing and to share evidence-based knowledge. We do this both mono- and interdisciplinary.

 

Main Focus

Research on methods of user-centered needs assessment, development, and evaluation. 

Through this focus, research and development projects on digitization in healthcare benefit by selecting, adapting, developing and applying scientific methods. 

Research question: How can health and care technologies be designed, developed and evaluated?

Research on the acceptance and impact of health technologies.

In this focus area, high-quality results on the effects, acceptance and performance of technical solutions are obtained and published using the methods from focus area 1.

Research question: What acceptance (incl. technical performance, usability), effects and penetration do health technologies achieve in practical implementation?

Infrastructure

The reserach center uses the infrastructure of FH Campus Wien, including

  • the OR Innovation Center and Intensive Care Unit

 A fully equipped high-tech operating room allows research and development through simulation and analysis of processes and workflows in a realistic environment. In the adjoining intensive care unit, the focus of research is on post-operative intensive care for patients.

  • the SimLab

 The state-of-the-art interprofessional skills and simulation training center is being built in the House of Health Sciences currently under construction on the grounds of FH Campus Wien. It comprises an entire floor and is expected to house various sim units, numerous functional rooms for Health Sciences and Applied Nursing Science and a special Living Lab from the end of 2024. The 50m² "standard apartment" serves as a realistic living environment for the setting of home care and home therapy. Supported by state-of-the-art simulation and medical technology, the SimLab offers a variety of settings, such as emergency and acute care, intensive care, family-oriented care or therapeutic situations in acute outpatient and home settings.
