Studying Digital Health – who is it worthwhile for?

Studying Digital Health

"The digitalisation wave is rolling – we have to learn to swim with it." – Lucia Dötterl, Digital Health student.

In fact, digitalisation is changing our healthcare system at a rapid pace. Electronic patient records, telemedicine, health apps, AI-supported diagnostics – all this is no longer just a future melody. For everyone passionate about the intersection of medicine and technology, a Digital Health programme could be just right.

What is Digital Health?

"Digital Health" encompasses the application of digital technologies in healthcare. The goal is to make medical care more efficient, patient-oriented and data-based. This includes software solutions for clinics, digital therapy tools, platforms for remote treatment and data-driven research for disease prevention.

Who is the programme suitable for?

A programme in Digital Health is aimed at everyone who not only wants to apply technology but actively shape it – and who brings a special interest in health topics.

Study contents: interdisciplinary and practice-oriented

The two programmes in Digital Health Bachelor and Master combine knowledge from computer science, medicine and health sciences. Typical topics include health informatics, telemedicine, AI, robotics and data security.

Career prospects: versatile and future-proof

The demand for skilled workers with Digital Health competence is constantly growing – both in the public and private sectors. A Digital Health programme is worthwhile for everyone who understands technology as an opportunity and wants to actively shape healthcare. The special feature of studying at IB Hochschule für Gesundheit und Soziales is the direct connection to Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin (ukb).

IB Hochschule für Gesundheit und Soziales prepares you for these new requirements in a practice-oriented and future-oriented way – with direct access to the clinic, innovative projects and an interdisciplinary team. More information about the programmes can be found on the pages for the Bachelor Digital Health or the Master Digital Health.
