Technical innovations in the fields of hardware and software will allow more personalised prevention, more precise diagnoses, and more tailored therapies - which will mean better healthcare and lower costs in the long run.Theinterdisciplinary, English-language Master's programmeinDigital Healthis aimed atcomputer science and medical studentswho want to work as highly qualified experts in the health sector at the interface betweenIT,computer science, andmedicine. The programme covers the basic concepts and methods of IT systems engineering and data engineering as well as the basics of medicine. The programme also provides an understanding of different healthcare systems.TheMaster of Science in Digital Healthis a four-semester programme at the Faculty of Digital Engineering, a faculty jointly founded by theHasso Plattner Institute (HPI)and theUniversity of Potsdam.During their studies, students acquire the skills to analyse, design, and implement complex and secure IT systems and infrastructures in the healthcare field. They also deal with ethical and legal issues relevant to the design of health systems.Along with an excellent professional education inIT systems engineering, the Hasso Plattner Institute places great importance on teaching the interdisciplinary andkey competencies(soft skills) that play a vital role in the successful management of large, networked IT projects.In addition,topicsabout entrepreneurshipand the innovative method ofdesign thinkingare integral parts of the curriculum.Learn more about theHasso Plattner Instituteand theMaster's programme "Digital Health"."]
