OHDSI Germany

Who we are 

Founded in Spring 2021, OHDSI Germany is now part of the worldwide OHDSI community and belongs to OHDSI Europe. We bring together experts in medicine and informatics from research and industry in Germany to form an interdisciplinary and cross-sector interest and working group. 

We aim to empower German clinicians and researchers to develop and use best practices and lessons learned to participate in international studies of the OHDSI network. For this we offer a platform to share and discuss approaches, tools and methods as well as to collaborate on new research. 

We are happy to collaborate with other working groups from OHDSI and share best practices to learn from each other.
