About

Dr. med. Dominik Dotzauer is a German physician whose doctoral research at Hamburg University systematically analysed six major behaviour change theories to understand why health-related behaviour change so often fails — despite clear goals and strong motivation. Spoiler: it's not motivation.

He is a co-founder of the German Society of Lifestyle Medicine (DGLM) and a Council Member of the True Health Initiative. As an angel investor in digital health, he backs evidence-based health tech startups across Europe and Asia.

Currently based between Germany and China, Dominik is building AI for medical applications while connecting Western and Asian health tech ecosystems. He organizes Health Tech Meetups in Shenzhen and Chiang Mai — bringing together founders, investors, and medical professionals who take an evidence-based, no-esoterik approach to health innovation.

At the Shenzhen SEO Conference, Dominik brings a unique perspective at the intersection of medicine, AI, and cross-border digital strategy — how health and medical brands can build authority in both Western search engines and Chinese platforms.

How Health & Medical Brands Build Authority in Search and AI

September 14-18, 2026 · The St. Regis Shenzhen

Google's E-E-A-T guidelines hit health content hardest. Medical and health brands face unique challenges: YMYL scrutiny, author credibility requirements, and now AI Overviews that cite (or ignore) your expertise. Dominik shares how physicians and health brands can build real authority — in Google, in LLMs, and across Chinese platforms like Baidu and WeChat.
