Digitale Anwendungen in der Arbeitsmedizin – neue Regelwerke im Entstehen

Digital applications in occupational medicine – new regulations in development The world of work is changing – and with it occupational medicine. Digital solutions are increasingly finding their way into occupational health practices, whether in risk assessment, preventive care, or company integration management (BEM). In order to accompany this change in a technically sound and legally secure manner, the Committee for Occupational Medicine (AfAMed) is working in a newly founded project group on occupational health rules (AMR) and occupational health recommendations (AME) for digital applications. In an interview with Lukas Brethfeld (VDBW), Prof. Dr. Thomas Kraus, President of the DGAUM and Director of the Institute for Occupational, Social, and Environmental Medicine at RWTH Aachen University, explains how the project group is structured, which opportunities and risks are associated with digital tools – and what is needed to successfully integrate them into operational practice.
