The private Tele-Ophthalmological Institute Erlangen is an association of ophthalmologists who use telemedical methods to provide ophthalmological assessments of images and data. This makes it possible to conduct tele-eye consultations in cooperation with Talkingeyes & more GmbH for internal medicine, general medical or neurological facilities and comprehensive eye screening examinations with telemedical assessments in companies, sports clubs and old people's and nursing homes. The examinations of the tele-eye consultation are based on special photographs of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, on examinations of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereo vision, intraocular pressure and the field of vision. This provides a very valid picture of vision, possible retinal vascular changes, early changes that threaten vision such as glaucoma or macular degeneration or degeneration of retinal neurons in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's disease. The images and data recorded are assessed telemedically by an ophthalmologist and summarized in a doctor's letter. All images and findings are accessible to doctors providing further treatment with the patient's consent. Since 2002, more than 70,000 patients have been examined using this method. The Tele-Ophthalmological Institute in Erlangen has been combining ophthalmology with modern information technology for many years and offers knowledge and experience in the field of eye and health care. The Tele-Ophthalmological Institute in Erlangen works together with Talkingeyes&more GmbH, the Chair of Pattern Recognition, the Chair of High Frequency Technology, the Institute of Sports Science and Sports, the Interdisciplinary Institute for Ophthalmic Preventive Medicine and Imaging at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and numerous practicing ophthalmologists, general practitioners and internists (cardiologists) throughout Germany. The concept has won several awards: the 2006 Medical Technology Award from the City of Erlangen, the 2008 eHealth Award from the University of Bayreuth and the 2012 Karl Storz Telemedicine Award. Tele-eye consultation is modular and has several examination options that can be combined depending on the task.

The stroke network with telemedicine in northern Bavaria STENO enables stroke patients to be treated equally and according to the latest standards across the entire care region of northern Bavaria and southern Thuringia. STENO is anchored in the Bavarian Hospital Plan as part of standard care and is financed by the Bavarian funding bodies. Under the coordination of the Neurology Clinic of the University Hospital Erlangen, 18 standard and specialist care clinics in Central, Upper and Lower Franconia, Upper Palatinate and southern Thuringia cooperate with the supra-regional stroke treatment centers in Bayreuth, Erlangen and Nuremberg. The three centers provide neurologists experienced in stroke treatment on a rotating basis 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for the teleconsultation assessment and treatment of acute strokes in the network's clinics. In addition, a stroke unit has been set up in each hospital in the network. Here, patients are cared for by a specialized interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses and therapists. If a transfer is necessary, the three centers are available with all the options for maximum care. The entire network is certified for its uniform, cross-facility quality management in accordance with the internationally valid quality standard DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.

With deep roots in its homeland of Lower Bavaria, the Deggendorf University of Applied Sciences has developed since 1994 into the most successful new university of applied sciences of the 1990s in Bavaria. No one could have predicted this success in the year it was founded. But with the future always firmly in mind, the Deggendorf University of Applied Sciences has succeeded: with the gradual development of attractive fields of study, supplemented by an attractive range of continuing education courses, intensive research activities and knowledge and technology transfer to the regional economy, taking up economic and social trends and maintaining regional and international contacts.

We live a borderless university

Today, over 8,000 young people study at the study locations in Deggendorf, Pfarrkirchen and Cham. More than 30 percent of them come to Lower Bavaria from all over the world to study. Teaching focuses on the areas of business, technology, digitalization and health. Numerous bachelor's and master's programs are offered in these fields, including in the continuing education sector. All courses meet national and international quality standards. In addition to the main campus in Deggendorf, the DHD offers another great opportunity to obtain a bachelor's and/or master's degree with its study locations in Pfarrkirchen and Cham. Those who would like to study in English and in a multicultural environment will find what they are looking for at the European Campus Rottal-Inn and the Cham Campus in particular.

pioneer in knowledge and technology transfer

The university has a strong bond with the town and the Bavarian Forest region. Before the university was founded, Deggendorf was a rather sleepy little town, but today it is young and modern with a colorful cityscape that combines different cultures and nations. The presence of students is clearly noticeable. The town and university have grown together. The Bavarian Forest also benefits from science. In 2009, the first of today's eleven research and technology campuses opened in Teisnach. With the technology campus concept, the university is taking on a clear pioneering role in cooperation with business and the local community. Together they help to support companies in research, development and consulting, thereby creating new prospects for young, qualified people.

Down-to-earth, but always open to new things

The DIT has always clearly shaped its future when it has taken advantage of existing opportunities and surprised people with extraordinary ideas and their rapid implementation. In 2013, for example, the application for the title of "Technical University" was an important and successful step in its development. In 2015, at the suggestion of the DIT, another faculty for health sciences was established. And the international campus in Pfarrkirchen, which opened in 2015, has also exceeded all expectations. For the current president, Prof. Dr. Peter Sperber, the success of the Deggendorf University is a combination of many factors: "Here in Deggendorf, we have always put in a lot of effort, have not let up and have also taken unconventional paths."

Creative, intelligent, responsible

Of course, DIT has not taken all these paths without a long-term goal. 10,000 students by 2030, that is the vision. The fact that this goal is no longer a utopia was confirmed in autumn 2019. Prime Minister Dr. Markus Söder has given the green light for the next major project. The construction of a digitization center is in full swing and has begun with the founding of the Faculty of Applied Computer Science with a total capacity of 1,000 additional students.

Familial Campus Life

The atmosphere on campus is still familiar despite rapid growth. Deggendorf has many advantages as a university town. The distances between the campus, the city and the dormitories are short and can be reached on foot. Due to the proximity to the Danube and the Bavarian Forest, there are numerous opportunities for leisure activities. The good transport links also invite you to take trips all over Bavaria. The moderate housing and living costs are another plus point for many students. The university itself also offers an extensive program with music festivals, concerts, theater and club life. In university sports, competitive athletes can take part in competitions in many sports, e.g. in the Bavarian and German university championships. The students are very interested and the THD has been able to crown itself with numerous titles in recent years. Student clubs are actively involved in shaping campus life. Almost 20 clubs from various disciplines offer students in Deggendorf and Pfarrkirchen the opportunity to get involved, meet new friends and have fun.
