In the current social and economic context, implementing ICTs intelligently to the health sector is necessary for several reasons: economic (the pressure on the health sector to cut costs and be more effi cient), social (a reduction in patient mobility and the load of healthcare to improve their comfort), market needs (large number of companies with plans for e-health systems, a 2020 European Union strategic goal), as well as innovation, so as to create real and applicable solutions to the failures in pilot projects and the lack of an implementation regulatory framework.
Some examples of today’s achievements in health ICTs are online services for electronic prescriptions, shared medical record databases, and websites on healthcare and health information or, in the field of telemedicine, applications such as teleradiology or teledermatology. Or even teleconsultation.

Presentation:
In the current social and economic context, implementing ICTs intelligently to the health sector is necessary for several reasons:
economic (the pressure on the health sector to cut costs and be more effi cient), social (a reduction in patient mobility and the load
of healthcare to improve their comfort), market needs (large number of companies with plans for e-health systems, a 2020 European
Union strategic goal), as well as innovation, so as to create real and applicable solutions to the failures in pilot projects and the lack
of an implementation regulatory framework.
Some examples of today’s achievements in health ICTs are online services for electronic prescriptions, shared medical record
databases, and websites on healthcare and health information or, in the fi eld of telemedicine, applications such as teleradiology
or teledermatology. Or even teleconsultation. The possibilities of developing health ICTs can be extended to robotics, including
surgical techniques and advanced diagnosis systems, as well as developing biological simulation and modelling devices.
It is organized in collaboration with Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Hospital de Sant Pau, TicSalut and Fundació i2Cat.
Who is it for:
Professionals in the health sector interested in using ICTs to develop innovative solutions for their everyday problems.
Professionals in the computing and telecommunications sector interested in developing advanced applications and services to
solve health problems and norms to maintain the welfare of our societies.
University graduates interested in fi nding a professional pathway in the fi eld of e-health, as advanced technology users in the fi eld
of health and as directors and managers of advanced ICT projects in this fi eld.
Career prospects:
This master intends to create a professional profi le that links the areas of knowledge of biology and medicine, engineering,
technology and new materials, business management and health and healthcare systems.
Contribute knowledge based on ICTs in relation to the acquisition, processing, treatment and transmission of information, images
and any other biological and health-related information as well as knowledge based on scientifi c aspects in relation to life sciences,
biology and medicine and biotechnology and the technological spheres relating to healthcare and health control systems.
Content and programme structure:
# Eminently practical, with a load of 90 ECTS (three semesters), based on learning by projects.
# The programme of the Master in Smart Health Innovation combines theory sessions based on the “learning by doing” learning
model with hands-on sessions in a laboratory and with working sessions based on the case method.
# The fi rst subject is a levelling course, basically in healthcare, for students with a more technical background profi le, whereas the
Foundations of ICTs is for students starting the Master with a profi le oriented towards healthcare. The remaining subjects are the
same for all students.
