00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Smart Data is the raw material of the 21st century, a major issue of the future,  

2
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:12.000
and the basis for many services and products.

3
00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:16.000
Data makes products smart. We want to utilize the data of companies   

4
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:20.050
and institutions in the best possible manner to 

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.050
provide a basis for competent decisions.

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Our research cluster combines the efforts of various HsH faculties.

7
00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:37.040
Its interdisciplinary approach addresses questions from practical application

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.000
to theoretical basic research. In addition to the technical aspects,

9
00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:49.000
we also examine effects on data security and privacy,    

10
00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:53.000
as data is of great value to its owners.

11
00:00:53.040 --> 00:01:00.000
We conduct our research in cooperation with small and medium-sized companies  

12
00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:07.000
and public institutions, for instance Hannover Medical School, our partner for one 

13
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.040
of our focus fields of application: health and medicine.

14
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.050
We provide after-care for kidney transplant patients. 

15
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:27.000
The biggest risk after a transplant operation is immune system induced organ rejection. 

16
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.000
It is very important to diagnose this development as early as possible.

17
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:40.000
Our research focuses on methods of compiling data in an organized manner. 

18
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.000
Such data bases can help assess which patients 

19
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.040
run a higher risk of rejecting the donor organ. 

20
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:57.000
A lot of data is gained from clinical routine: biopsy data, like pathologic results,

21
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:04.000
or immunological data, the genetic information on which the transplant 

22
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:12.040
was conducted, but also virological data that identifies specific infectious diseases.

23
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Based on routine data, collected during the regular medical treatment, 

24
00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:24.050
our smart data analysis can generate even more knowledge,

25
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.000
At Hannover Medical School, we clinicians take care of the patients.

26
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:36.000
The IT specialists at HsH take care of the data. 

27
00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:39.000
Our patients benefit from the cooperation of these two fields,

28
00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:29.000
as it creates new structures, e.g. to detect risks and diseases at an early stage.
