Centre
We conduct interdisciplinary research to support clinical and nonclinical decision makers involved in the management of multimorbid patients.
Go to researchPeople
Our research combines the knowledge and perspectives of medical clinicians, data scientists, psychologists, and engineers from biomedicine, computer graphics and computer linguistics.
Go to peopleSetting
The Centre stands alongside a large Department of Internal Medicine, a Preclinical Research Centre, and the Multimorbidity Competence Center.

Who is multimorbid
Individuals with complex interactions between multiple acute and chronic medical conditions.
Scale of multimorbidity
20–30% of the Swiss population and ca. 80% of patients in city hospitals are multimorbid.
Impact of multimorbidity
Multimorbidity can place a very heavy burden on patients, lead to high utilization of health service resources, and generate substantial health care costs.
Clinical Management
Depending on the severity and complexity of multiple conditions, a patient's unique combination of diseases and treatment options, benefits and risks needs to be carefully managed.
Research
Main Research Areas
We have two complementary areas of research that use different data sources and methods.
Multimorbidity Health Analytics
We apply data scientific methods such as machine learning, visual analytics and medical informatics to healthcare data that is accumulated during healthcare delivery of hospitalized patients.
Go to projectsHealth Decision Science
We focus on clinical decision-making, risk assessment and communication under real world conditions of complexity, uncertainty and competing demands in the clinical management of multimorbid patients.
Go to projectsThese areas of research enable us to generate clinically meaningful insights and knowledge about multimorbidity and its clinical management from different perspectives. They also provide real world evidence with which to identify opportunities and test ways to improve management of multimorbid patients.
