Bernhard Michalowsky

Bernhard Michalowsky is a Research Fellow at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), leading the Career Development Fellow Program. His work bridges clinical research and health services research in neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), health economic burden, and implementation of evidence-based care models.

• Coordinated the Translational Network for Dementia Health Services Research (TaNDem), a DZNE-wide platform for stakeholder engagement.
• Key studies: PROFA, living@home, RegioDem, and DCM:IMPact implementation trials.

Research interests span health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measurement, cost-effectiveness of dementia interventions, and stakeholder integration into clinical research. His methodological focus includes psychometric testing of PROMs, analysis of routine health data, and cross-sectional implementation studies.

Recent publications highlight trends in health economics, validation of HRQoL instruments like EQ-5D, and implementation strategies for collaborative dementia care. Articles emphasize cost analysis, caregiver experiences, and the impact of social support on disease progression.
