Its purpose is simple: create a stable, trusted space where people who care about&nbsp;<em>citizen-centered health<\/em>&nbsp;can collaborate across borders, disciplines, and sectors\u2014turning ideas into prototypes, studies, teaching modules, and long-term partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, SALUS_Net builds on the SALUS vision of a&nbsp;<strong>citizen-centered health platform for cross-border regions<\/strong>\u2014regions where everyday life, work, and healthcare interactions naturally cross national boundaries and therefore require compatible digital services, governance models, and cooperative care pathways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Why SALUS_Net exists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross-border regions are not \u201cedge cases.\u201d They are living laboratories for Europe\u2019s big questions in healthcare digitization: interoperability, multilingual user experiences, trust and privacy, governance across jurisdictions, and the practical reality that citizens may receive care in more than one health system. SALUS_Net exists to tackle these challenges through collaboration that is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Interdisciplinary<\/strong>&nbsp;(informatics, medicine, psychology, public health, ethics, social sciences, design, and innovation)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transnational<\/strong>&nbsp;(partners who understand local contexts while building shared approaches)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Practice-connected<\/strong>&nbsp;(bridging academic research with clinics, public actors, and innovation ecosystems)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Education-driven<\/strong>&nbsp;(training the next generation through summer schools, workshops, and hands-on project work)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The SALUS workshops and events have repeatedly shown that progress happens fastest when a diverse group can meet, share real problems, compare approaches, and then keep working together after the event ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>What connects the network<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Citizen-centered digital health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SALUS_Net connects people around a shared set of themes and methods, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing services that start with citizens\u2019 needs: understandable interfaces, clear consent and data-use explanations, inclusive access, and real-world usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cross-border interoperability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making digital health solutions usable across administrative boundaries: data models, interfaces, semantic interoperability, and process alignment\u2014without ignoring legal and organizational reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI and data-driven healthcare innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying machine learning responsibly in healthcare contexts, and building the data governance, quality, and evaluation culture needed to make AI useful and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From research to impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning research results into prototypes, pilots, transfer projects, or even entrepreneurial pathways\u2014so that outcomes are not limited to publications but also improve real systems and services.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How the network works in practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SALUS_Net is not a mailing list\u2014it is a&nbsp;<em>working network<\/em>. Collaboration typically begins in one of three ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>SALUS events and workshops<\/strong> <br>For example, the SALUS 2024 scientific event\u2014jointly organized by&nbsp;HTWG Konstanz&nbsp;and the&nbsp;University of Seville\u2014brought together more than a hundred participants to discuss citizen-centered health in cross-border regions, including on-site and online formats that lowered barriers to participation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Partner meetings and focused research sprints<\/strong> <br>SALUS partners also meet in smaller working formats to accelerate concrete outcomes. For instance, SALUS-related partner gatherings took place at&nbsp;New Bulgarian University, supporting intensive collaboration on AI-based healthcare topics and next-step planning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Summer schools and training formats<\/strong><br>The DAAD program landscape supports international academic exchange and summer school formats that deepen subject knowledge and enable real collaboration between early-career researchers and senior experts. Within SALUS_Net, these formats have been essential for building durable working relationships and giving students an authentic research-and-innovation experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>What participants gain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For researchers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SALUS_Net helps you find collaborators who are already working on compatible questions\u2014whether you focus on platforms, sensors, privacy engineering, clinical evaluation, human-centered design, or cross-border governance. The network encourages joint publications, shared prototypes, and follow-on funding ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For students and early-career researchers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer-school and workshop culture is designed to be hands-on: working in teams, learning to communicate across disciplines, and building tangible outputs you can showcase\u2014project results, posters, demos, or thesis topics that connect to an international context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For practice partners (clinics, public actors, NGOs, innovation hubs):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SALUS_Net provides access to a pipeline of ideas and prototypes, and to experts who can translate needs into feasible digital concepts\u2014while taking safety, ethics, and adoption barriers seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Typical outcomes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While projects differ, SALUS_Net collaborations often lead to outcomes such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Joint research questions shaped directly by stakeholder needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prototype concepts for citizen-facing services in cross-border contexts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shared teaching modules and guest-lecture exchanges across institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Student projects and theses that connect research with real deployment contexts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event series that grow participation over time and strengthen trust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What matters most is continuity: SALUS_Net is built to keep working between events\u2014so that the \u201cgreat workshop idea\u201d becomes a concrete next step, a shared task list, and a follow-up meeting.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Members of SALUS_Net<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Project Leader<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"670\" height=\"945\" src=\"https:\/\/uc-lab.in.htwg-konstanz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seepold-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uc-lab.in.htwg-konstanz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seepold-1.jpg 670w, https:\/\/uc-lab.in.htwg-konstanz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Seepold-1-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Prof. Dr. Ralf Seepold<\/strong> (HTWG Konstanz)<\/summary>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Ralf E.D.
