Strategic foresight is the basis for estimating future epidemiological, medical and technological
developments at the interface between medicine and marine science within the framework of
the research project “BlueHealthTech”. The goal of the project is to support the research and
development at the intersection of medicine and marine science for the development of
innovations to treat chronically ill patients. The underlying foresight process is designed
to investigate the future needs of the healthcare market and to prepare the potential of
relevant technological developments using established analytical methods, such as
patent and publication analyses, and on the basis of qualitative information from national and
international experts. In addition to short- and medium-term trends, alternative long-term
visions of the future will also be developed within the framework of scenario analyses.
