Brief Bio
Dr. Hannes Schlieter is head of the Research Group Digital Health at the Faculty of Economics at TU Dresden. His research focuses on theories and design issues in the field of digital transformation, especially, but not exclusively, in the healthcare sector (Digital Health). His research contributions in the areas of methodological research, adaptation of digital care solutions, implementation of digital health ecosystems, standardization and digitization of patient pathways, and design and development of virtual coaching applications reflect the interdisciplinary nature of his research in national, as well as international research collaborations. His work has already been published in over 90 publications. Currently, Dr. Hannes Schlieter is also the spokesperson of the "FG Digital Health" in the "Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V." (the German Informatics Society). Furthermore, from 2017-2020 he was the head of the junior research group Care4Saxony. In the Research Group Digital Health, Dr. Hannes Schlieter is responsible for strategic orientation, international cooperation, and third-party funding activities. In this role, he works EU projects like vCare, collaborates in Gatekeeper, and is part of national projects, such as MiHubX and QPATH4MS.

Brief Bio
Prof. Dr. Tobias Kowatsch is Associate Professor for Digital Health Interventions at the Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care, University of Zurich. He is also Director at the School of Medicine, University of St.Gallen, and the Scientific Director of the Centre for Digital Health Interventions (www.c4dhi.org, CDHI). CDHI is a joint initiative of the Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care at the University of Zurich, the School of Medicine, and the Institute of Technology Management at the University of St.Gallen, and the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics at ETH Zurich. In close collaboration with his interdisciplinary team and research partners, Tobias designs digital health interventions at the intersection of information systems research, computer science, and behavioral medicine. He helped initiate and participates in the ongoing development of MobileCoach (www.mobile-coach.eu), an open source platform for ecological momentary assessments, health monitoring, and digital health interventions. He is also co-founder of the ETH Zurich and University of St.Gallen spin-off company Pathmate Technologies which creates and delivers digital clinical pathways.

SCOPE
Healthcare delivery undergoes a rapid change from traditional processes towards the use of digital health interventions and personalized medicine. While hospitals and health care providers introduce hospital information systems, electronic health records and telemedicine solutions for more efficient workflows within and beyond institutions, patients may choose between a wide range of digital health applications provided by wearables and mobile phone applications supporting their self-management, health and well-being. However, the question of how sustainable digital health diffusion can be successfully reached is not sufficiently solved yet. Our workshop seeks for submissions dealing with this question and especially the diffusion and adoption of digital health innovations. We welcome research and theory papers as well as case studies and best practice examples.
Topics:
- Innovative and implemented (telemedical) care models to mitigate the demographic impact on the health care system
- Implementation strategies or models for localizing and tailoring of digital health solutions
- Quality management in integrated healthcare networks and for digitally supported care models
- Dissemination and adoption strategies for digital innovations
- Transformation of traditional care processes by the use of information and communication technologies, e.g. successful intra- and interorganizational implementation of health information systems, electronic health records, or telemedicine/eHealth applications
- Health behavior change through the use of digital health interventions
- Digital Health at home - successfully putting individualized ambient assisted living solutions to use

Brief Bio
Lisa A. Marsch, PhD. Dr. Lisa A. Marsch is the Director of the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (www.c4tbh.org) and the Andrew G. Wallace Professor within the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College in the U.S.CTBH is an interdisciplinary “Center of Excellence”, supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, that uses science to inform the development, evaluation, and sustainable implementation of technology-based tools (that leverage web, mobile, sensing and/or social media approaches) for behavior change targeting awide array of populations and health behaviors. These tools are designed to deliver engaging and effective health monitoring and health behavior interventions to collectively lead to transformations in the delivery of science-based behavioral health care.

Abstract
Dr. Marsch will describe the development and a couple of decades of research focused on clinically validated, digital therapeutics for substance use disorders and behavioral health. She will give examples of how entire systems of healthcare can be transformed to deliver scalable, science-based behavioral health care via digital health approaches. And she will share the journey of scaling up the most rigorously-tested and empirically-supported digital treatment for substance use disorders to become the very first “prescription digital therapeutic” authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which can be prescribed in the U.S. (with plans for international expansion).

Brief Bio
Diane is Principal eHealth Policy Consultant at EHTEL (the European Health Telematics Association) (http://www.ehtel.eu) (Brussels, Belgium). EHTEL is an active member of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) https://ec.europa.eu/eip/ageing/home_en, and particularly its action group on integrated care. Digital enablement is a crucial element of the association’s activities. As part of EHTEL’s work on the European blueprint on digital transformation of health and care, EHTEL has been a keen enabler and follower of activities focused on the growth of digital health throughout the Union: https://ec.europa.eu/eip/ageing/blueprint_en. Diane’s previous work experience (1998-2007) was in European policy development in the domains of both digital health and accessibility at the European Commission (Brussels, Belgium). Her awards include the HIMSS Europe eHealth Leadership Award (2017). Diane works on the policy, organisational, social, and ethical aspects of ICT and especially ICT for health, and her commitments have involved the production, editing, and writing of a number of books on eHealth e.g.,: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9781137379429 and https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783642224737.
