Professor Wild, one of your main areas of activity is the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Since 2010/2011, they have accounted for approximately half of all deaths worldwide.
Cardiovascular diseases are in fact frequently multi-causal. In addition to risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and nicotine abuse, genetic predispositions, family and social influences and environmental factors also play a role – as do mental illnesses and personality. A single factor normally only has a very small influence, but several ones can lead to illness through accumulation.
Since the risk factors are known, targeted prevention is possible. Unfortunately, health insurance companies often do not offer comprehensive prevention as part of standard service...
Heart and vessels form a highly complex organ system in which extremely diverse cells have to work together correctly to provide all organs with blood. In past decades, heart biology placed its focus on whole tissues or cell isolates. Now, however, new technologies allow the tracing of a diversity of cell types and their individual responses to signals down to the level of proteins and genes. Researchers hope this will help them better support the regeneration of diseased hearts.
In his widely acclaimed book “Das Kalte Herz” (The Cold Heart), economic historian Werner Plumpe tells the story of the history of capitalism, which in his view represents a sober form of economics which has proved itself superior and higher performing than other systems. To this day, the long tradition of capitalism criticism has not understood that in capitalism, great wealth is utilized to produce goods that are usually affordable for people with small incomes.

The healthcare industry sees great potential in consolidating medical data on one and the same person which is currently distributed across various practices and hospitals. This would not only save costs on repeating procedures; physicians also hope that artificial intelligence will help them identify new connections and thereby treat diseases earlier, or even prevent them.
So far, personal feedback in the case of lectures with hundreds of students still seems utopic – even after the digitalization boom in times of the coronavirus. Tools from the research field of »learning analytics« could in future give students feedback and at the same time provide their supervisors with clues about where help is still needed.
A question of striking the right balance : how do digital media influence how we think and act?
(2020)
What influence do digital technologies have on human perception, thinking and action? Do computer games harm the development of young brains? And is there really such a thing as »digital dementia«, an increasing forgetfulness caused by the use of modern technologies? For some of these questions, answers are available that are empirically corroborated.
Through digitalization, the social importance of copyright law has grown considerably. Moreover, the culture of exclusivity established by copyright law conflicts fundamentally with the culture of access prevalent on the internet. An example for this is the dispute over the EU’s latest copyright directive. Does it ring in the end of the internet as we know it, or does it »only« see to fair remuneration for those working in the creative economy?
The issue of data security has become increasingly complex in the age of the internet and artificial intelligence. The developments seem to be almost unmanageable in some areas. Cooperation between jurisprudence and information technology is the only thing that can protect the individual and certain social groups from discrimination.
As a network researcher, sociologist Professor Christian Stegbauer also deals with communication in social media. That people prefer to stay in a bubble with like-minded others rather than get to grips with different opinions and ways of thinking was in his view inherent to digital communication from the outset. He considers many of the utopian ideas of a digital culture of participation to be exaggerated.
