Introduction
I just started a new position as Professor for E-Health at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Currently, my focus is on teaching in the field of E-health at the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences. My research interests and expertise are in the areas of internet- and mobile-based interventions, college student (mental) health care, cost-effectiveness analyses, panel data and RCTs. I will expand my research to outpatient care via digital interventions.
