Digital Networking for Type 1 Diabetes Research
We digitalize and automate processes in type 1 diabetes research and clinical studies to enable multinational research projects in a connected world.

Digitalization and automation hold enormous potential for type 1 diabetes research.
Scientific work and clinical studies are mainly conducted at different locations, meaning that digital and automated exchange of laboratory results, clinical data and medical reports between cooperating research institutions creates new possibilities. In particular, this can improve data quality and increase the validity of studies. This results in a direct benefit for patients with type 1 diabetes.
The research area "Digital networking for type 1 diabetes research" has implemented a laboratory database for digital and automated collection, management and storage of laboratory assays and developed a multifunctional software system that automatically collects and manages all studies, study participants and their study data. These systems are digitally linked and integrated with other systems and projects of the Institute of Diabetes Research (GPPAD, Fr1da study, European pre-T1D Registry).
We are continuously working to improve and expand these systems to digitize and automate scientific collaboration with national and international research partners.
We are also establishing a new digital platform that will enable centralized storage, interactive processing and analysis of large data sets (big data, multiomics) from multicenter studies. In this way, we are enabling science to reach our common goal: “A World without 1".
