Further development of a telemedicine app for treatment support in dermatology

Context

In Germany alone, more than 8 million people suffer from chronic skin diseases. Waiting times for university treatment appointments average 6 months, making it difficult to avoid relapses and escalations. Depression and anxiety are therefore frequent side effects for patients. At the FZI, research is being conducted on a telemedical approach to enable the treatment of dermatology patients through an online service using a smartphone app.

  • You upgrade the existing app with further desired functions such as push notifications
  • You develop your own improvements for the display and functions and incorporate them into the app

Requirements

  • You are studying electrical engineering, computer science or a related course of study.
  • You are committed, motivated and have a careful and conscientious way of working.
  • At best, you have some experience with app development with Ionic and Angular.
