We cordially invite everyone to attend the 31st DIGAB Annual Conference, which will take place from May 22nd to 23rd, 2025 in Rostock. This important event brings together professionals, clinicians, researchers, and experts who are actively involved in the field of respiratory medicine and outpatient ventilation care. The conference provides a valuable opportunity for participants to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and engage in meaningful discussions on current developments and challenges within this specialized area of healthcare.
The conference will be held in the historic Hanseatic city of Rostock, located on the Baltic Sea. Known for its maritime tradition and charming old-town atmosphere, Rostock offers an inspiring and welcoming environment for professional exchange. The city’s coastal setting is characterized by its refreshing sea air and the constant presence of a fresh Baltic breeze, creating a unique atmosphere that reflects openness, movement, and renewal.
We are pleased to embrace this spirit and warmly welcome participants to an engaging program organized under the motto “Outpatient ventilation in motion.” This theme reflects the dynamic nature of outpatient ventilation care and highlights the importance of continued development, flexibility, and progress within the field.
Within this framework, the concept of mobility will be explored in several ways. It will be considered not only in terms of physical mobility but also in relation to the flexibility required when addressing the challenges and opportunities involved in caring for people who depend on outpatient ventilation. As healthcare systems evolve and patient needs change, adaptability remains essential for providing effective and responsible care.
The conference program will cover a wide range of relevant topics. These include discussions on the legal aspects of care, practical considerations in daily clinical work, and the sleep-related problems experienced by ventilated patients. Together, these subjects offer valuable insights and perspectives for professionals working in this important and evolving field.
