Information and communication technologies (ICT) are rapidly changing the way medicine and healthcare are practiced, researched, studied, and taught.
Whether you think of electronic health records and health information systems, telemedicine and virtual visits, mobile health and remote monitoring, digital imaging and virtual and augmented reality, sensors and AAL, artificial intelligence, robotics and data analytics, or genomics and personalised medicine – the domain of digital health has become the main area of exciting innovations and developments in medicine and healthcare. Additionally, the Sustainable Development Goal 3 – Good Health and Wellbeing – cannot be achieved without the digital transformation of healthcare.
That is why the World Health Organisation officially adopted a global strategy on digital health and recommended all member states to foster development of digital health, in order to strengthen their health systems and move towards Universal Health Coverage. In Germany, the European Union, the US, and in many other countries worldwide, the digital transformation of healthcare is currently the hottest topic and the highest priority. Consequently, digital health specialists will be among the most demanded professionals in the coming decades.
This uniquely innovative, practice-oriented, interdisciplinary and international study course taught exclusively in English, offers excellent and motivated graduates of biomedical and computer science disciplines from around the world, an exclusive opportunity to immerse in a highly professional and dynamic, diverse and multicultural, hard-working and proactive digital health community right in the heart of Europe, with unparalleled possibilities for studying, researching and networking, and excellent career prospects, – an opportunity to specialise in a field that is revolutionising healthcare, medicine, and the entire society.
