The Master in Information Health Engineering emerges as an answer to the increasing demand of researchers with an interdisciplinary background in the fields of information technologies and bioengineering. Nowadays, the intersection of these two areas stands out for its enormous potential in both research and application: the role of machine learning, signal processing, data science, and artificial intelligence is becoming crucial in almost any field and particularly in health engineering applications. Significantly, both public and private investing in research related to these areas has an enormous social and economic impact. In fact, companies such as Philips, Siemens, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Google or Apple, to name just a few, are demanding this research profile.
This Master combines the disciplines of information and health engineering with the goal of training researchers to become experts in signal and data analysis tools, with special emphasis on their use on medical signals and images. The training provided by the master's degree will have a strong theoretical foundation, allowing future graduates to apply their knowledge to design innovative methods of information processing and providing the basis for subsequent doctoral studies and/or R&D activities in industry.
