Location & approach

By Car

The campus of Dortmund University is located near the Dortmund West motorway junction, where the A45 Sauerland line crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By public transport

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. The university can also be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

By 'H-Bahn'

The H-Bahn, an elevated railway, is one of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Centre via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station with the AirportExpress and from there to the university with the S-Bahn. Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometres away, offers a wider range of international flight connections and can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

Patient-Generated Data as Intervention into Doctor-Patient Relationships?

Von Ann Kristin Augst, Danny Lämmerhirt und Cornelius Schubert

Abstract

Health data generated by apps and devices are becoming increasingly popular and are expected to affect various aspects of doctor-patient relationships. No longer confined to medically authorised and certified health technologies, a range of biomedical data – from heart rate to blood pressure or oxygen saturation – are captured and processed by consumer health devices. In this article, we compare the practices of physicians and chronically ill patients of integrating, resisting, or neglecting data from popular consumer devices in clinical situations and consider how the data may challenge or reify a doctor’s medical authority. Our study is based on semi-structured interviews with doctors and chronically ill patients in Germany between 2021 and 2023. By contrasting cases from general practice, diabetology, sleep disorder, cardiology, and obesity, we explore when, how, and for what reasons different medical specialists and patients with different chronic illnesses consider patient-generated data (PGD) from consumer devices in clinical situations. While some resist PGD that seem to compete with their diagnostic activities, others incorporate the data more readily into their diagnostic practices. This suggests nuanced strategies for navigating the demarcation between expert and lay knowledge, whereby consumer data can either be ascribed health-relevant meaning or not.
