Description

The module is designed to equip our students with the knowledge and tools necessary to enter the complex landscape of the life science and healthcare market with a digital solution.

The Digital Health and AI module is structured so learning points are supported with real-world use-case and delivered with interactive HBS-style seminars. What sets this module apart is the integration of external speakers who are leading experts across the market spectrum, including entrepreneurs who have built businesses around their solutions, medical directors at big pharma, Chief Innovation Officers at NHS trusts, service design leads for hospitals, and experts in intellectual property, regulation compliance, and biostats.

Students will get an in-depth understanding of current and emerging approaches, concepts and issues in digital health, including online networks to provide informational and psychological support to empower patients, big data, the future of privacy, the ethics of data collection in everyday life, as well as the impact of mobile and digital technology on health and wellbeing.

This module will be delivered in a hybrid learning format through online learning with face-to-face days.
