Welcome to OHDSI! - Please introduce yourself

Hello everyone,

I am Erwin Böttinger, CEO of the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) and PI of a research
consortium (“Health Data for Care and Research” – HD4CR) that aims to efficiently
interlink health care, biomedical and research data to improve patient care and
medical research in the long run. The ultimate goal is an interoperable and
interlinked digital health and research basis enabling value-based,
personalized healthcare.

As to OHDSI, my main interest is in the (professional) exchange of information and ideas
in the OHDSI-community. I am excited to see, how our consortium can contribute to
OHDSI and vice versa, how our undertakings can contribute to the goals of the OHDSI
program.
