Research Project: DS4Health - Digital Medicine

Postgraduate-Program Digital Medicine

A postgraduate program in digital medicine was developed as part of an EU project. This is intended as further training for graduates of medicine or other medical training programs and will deal with the most important applications of digital data processing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics and the Internet of Things in the healthcare sector. The ULG aims to improve higher education for healthcare professionals in digital skills and deepen understanding of the design, use and development of digital technologies.

Digital health applications have significant growth potential and are one of the areas with the strongest societal demand for digital professionals. The postgraduate program presented is intended to help close this gap as part of an international course.

Students have the opportunity to choose between 2 specializations with different focuses:

• Data Expert in Health
• Technologies for Digital Health

In the DS4Health project there are a total of 3 tracks, hence the names Track 1 and 3. The Medical University Vienns has decided to offer the above-mentioned tracks. At other universities of the DS4Health project, however, it is also possible to complete Track 2 (Digital Health Transformation). 

Modules leading to a "Master of Science (CE)" degree

Modules leading to the qualification of "academic expert in digital medicine"

About the EU-project: DS4Health

This postgraduate-program was developed as part of an EU Commission-funded project called "DS4Health". Each year, numerous students from all partner institutes (RWTH Aachen University, Tel Aviv University, Institute Polytechnic De Paris, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, University of Ioannina) of the international DS4Health consortium are trained to become new specialists in digital healthcare. Each university places importance on individual specializations in the curriculum, but a common basic framework should allow students to transfer between universities. This will significantly expand the already established EU-wide digital medicine programs through modular, collaborative curricula. The identification of needs, understanding of medical and procedural needs in healthcare as well as processes and interoperability are key elements. The postgraduate-program aims to provide more opportunities for students to be trained in advanced technologies with a clear view of the digital transformation of healthcare towards a clinical digital ecosystem.
