Background
The digital revolution in healthcare: challenges and opportunities
Breakthroughs in biotechnology and information technology are redefining modern medical practice. The rise of increasingly powerful computing resources, the development of cutting-edge AI algorithms, and the massive accumulation of biomedical data are opening unprecedented opportunities for precision medicine and accelerating our understanding of health and disease.
This digital revolution nevertheless raises major challenges: the management and analysis of large-scale data, data quality and heterogeneity, as well as fundamental ethical questions concerning the confidentiality, security, transparency, and governance of health data.
Our mission
Turning data into quality care
Established in 2021, the Biomedical Data Science Center was created from the shared ambition of Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and the University of Lausanne to position themselves as leaders in biomedical data science and digital health innovation at both the national and international levels.
Working in close collaboration with clinicians and researchers, we develop and apply advanced methods in data science and AI in support of medicine.
Our teams analyze large-scale datasets to deepen understanding of disease mechanisms, refine diagnostics, and optimize treatments.
Our vision
Pioneers of personalized medicine
At the BDSC we place AI and advanced data analytics at the heart of innovation in healthcare to deepen our understanding of biological and clinical mechanisms.
Our ambition is to be at the forefront of digital transformation in health and to help drive the emergence of truly predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine.
