Johannes Schobel

Professor Dr. Johannes Schobel is a Research Professor in Digital Medicine and Care at Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences, where he also serves as Academic Advisor and Head of the Health Informatics (B.Sc.) degree programme. His work focuses on mobile health (mHealth) applications, AI-driven medical imaging, and digital solutions for clinical challenges such as tinnitus, pediatric behavioral analysis, and cancer therapy. He leads projects integrating machine learning with clinical workflows, including tumor segmentation algorithms and telemedicine platforms.

His research spans mHealth app development, medical device regulation, and interdisciplinary approaches to healthcare innovation. Notable projects include the ProVIA trial for pediatric behavioral analysis via smartphones, the Corona Health platform for pandemic monitoring, and AI-based tools for histopathological analysis of glioblastoma. He emphasizes user-centric design in healthcare technology, addressing gaps between clinical needs and digital solutions.

Recent work explores ecological momentary assessment for chronic conditions, such as tinnitus variability tracking and stress management. He collaborates with industry through the Technology Transfer Center (TTZ) Günzburg to translate research into practical tools, exemplified by AI-supported web applications for game developers and geriatric care systems.

His academic contributions include over 50 peer-reviewed publications, focusing on mHealth app evaluation frameworks, machine learning in pathology, and digital twin technologies for healthcare systems. He advises on ethical medical device regulation and has pioneered gamification strategies for orofacial therapy adherence in children.
