The Master degree study program ‘Health Care IT’ addresses two important components that will fundamentally and sustainably shape the future of the current health system. This is particularly the use of artificial intelligence, which can support the process of assessing a diagnosis and the evaluation of imaging data, and it may also affect many other sectors that we are not even thinking about at the moment. Another important point that will affect the current health system is the aging of the population as a result of demographic change.
This master degree program focuses on these technical aspects of Health Care IT, by providing a specific education in deep learning and clinical data analysis as well as in 3D printing and robotics. Active and Assisted Living is another core element of the program that enables students to face the future challenges of the aging society today. Additional to theoretical input, students receive hands-on training in specialized laboratories. Small groups, personal support and mentoring, and an open door policy for all professors is a top priority.
Since internationalization is an important aspect of modern education, students are encouraged to go for an internship abroad and supported in joint projects with our research partners.
Curriculum
The Master degree study program “Health Care IT” enables graduates to successfully face the challenges in the healthcare sector. Equipped with technical and medical knowledge they are sought-after by a wide variety of potential employers in the health care industry. The program also prepares them for upcoming social issues like Active and Assisted Living (AAL) and Instrumental Activities of daily Living (iADL), which become more and more important as we are moving towards an aging society.
Students benefit from practical trainings in dedicated laboratories and work there in small groups. Two areas of specialization allow them to further deepen their interests: Medical Engineering and Image Processing or Health Informatics can be chosen over the course of the degree program. Thanks to strong cooperation with the Health Care sector, the program is able to invite professionals and experts as guest lecturers.
Graduates of the master degree program Health Care IT are able to:
- comprehend, analyze and remodel processes in medicine, nursing and Management,
- develop and implement QM systems in healthcare,
- retrieve their detailed knowledge of the conception, design and functionality of healthcare information systems in order to design such Systems,
- describe the interaction of economics success, technology , processes and quality in healthcare,
- plan and use indicators for the implementation of corporate guidelines in the areas of procurement, planning an d development,
- present functioning, theoretical principles and technical implementation of medical devices,
- list application possibilities of mobile systems in healthcare and analyze, conceptualize and design applications of such Systems,
- design, implement and evaluate medical studies in cooperation with medic.
