German Spine Registry
The new German Spine Registry has been collecting data on spine treatments since August 2024 to support scientific research on spinal conditions. The DWG Registry is jointly managed by the Academy of the German Spine Society (Akademie der Deutschen Wirbelsäulengesellschaft gGmbH) and Mint Medical GmbH. The number of participating clinics continues to grow each month, with new data added to the registry daily.

technical and scientific review. If the application does not pass the technical
review, a refund for the scientific review will be issued, and the application
will be canceled.

Once accepted and paid, the data will be prepared. If the offer is declined, the application will be canceled.
Payment methods
- Credit card
- Bank transfer
After submission, the application undergoes both a technical and scientific review by an application committee (AK).
Technical review:
Conducted by the registry operator, this review
ensures that the application meets the required technical standards, such as
completeness and institutional eligibility. The reviewer is trained and qualified
to assess these aspects.
Scientific review:
Conducted by a panel of experts in science,
technology, ethics, and data protection, this review ensures that applications are
evaluated from multiple perspectives. The goal is to verify that the requested
data will be used for legitimate research purposes.

Our fee structure is divided into four categories: data access request, data access, data tools and customized services. Fees include all designated data users in the project, so no additional costs apply.
To ensure fair and transparent pricing, data access fees are based on the scope, type and how often the data gets updated. Reduced fees are available for researchers.
Patients
Have you consented to the use of your health data through the Data Sharing Cockpit?- Data usage always adheres to patient consent.
- The Data Sharing Cockpit is a key component of data usage, defining who can access which data, for what purpose, and in what manner.
- Patient consent is always verified and applied before data is used.
