Innovations in Healthcare Technology 1

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2023-2024

Topic

Continuous innovation in healthcare ensures that patient care, diagnosis or prevention is as accurate and patient-centred as possible. But how do innovations come about, and what knowledge, expertise and tools are needed? Innovations in Healthcare Technology I. will explore all this for students.
Our goal is to provide the knowledge, skills and practice needed to develop and successfully implement an idea and project based on a real market need, a problem/challenge in the health sector, and to provide a solution to it. This will range from the identification of the need to the validation of the idea, and in addition to these exercises, we will introduce students to the latest technological trends through inspiring presentations on technologies, with guest speakers.
In the following semester, the Innovations in Healthcare Technology II. course will introduce students to the commercialisation of a specific project and the building of a business model around it, as a continuation of this course.
