Introduction
The introduction of digital disruptions is reshaping healthcare services, improving citizens' quality of life but also optimizing the way in which we manage public and private health ecosystems.
The main aim of our interdisciplinary Online Master's in Digital Healthcare is to build a digital health workforce to bridge the current knowledge gap between health and technology in order to address health-related societal challenges through the development and implementation of evidence-based digital solutions.
Health and social care systems, insurers, service providers, pharmaceutical companies, and the broad range of stakeholders that are part of the health ecosystem need to adapt and embrace emerging disruptive technologies in order to gain competitiveness, create new business models, or simply ensure the sustainability of the system.
What will I learn?
The Online Master in Digital Healthcare will provide me with the necessary tools, methods, legal framework, and technological expertise of the health ecosystem in order to develop and implement patient-centric solutions that address societal needs while developing new business opportunities.
This program of study is aimed at students who have a degree in Health Sciences, Engineering, Life Sciences or Mathematics and who would like to develop their professional career in this field.
