Understand how computer science supports healthcare: Gain an overview of how medical data, workflows, and information systems are organized in hospitals and other healthcare settings. You will learn the fundamentals of healthcare information systems, standards, and interfaces, as well as the key processes involved in patient care. In addition, you will explore how engineering and scientific principles are applied in medical technology and how digital solutions are transforming healthcare.

Understand how medical data is structured, recorded, and used: Learn how medical documentation is organized, how information is stored and retrieved in hospitals, and how standards such as ICD and SNOMED are applied. You will also explore how digital archiving and documentation systems work and how they are used to develop and implement practical software solutions for the healthcare sector.

Understand how digital systems work together in healthcare: Learn how information systems in hospitals and medical practices are designed and how they support processes such as patient management, billing, laboratory services, and medical imaging. You will explore the key standards and interfaces that enable the exchange of medical data, as well as the integration of different healthcare systems. In addition, you will learn how these systems are planned, evaluated, and implemented to improve the efficiency of healthcare workflows.

Understand how knowledge is created from medical data: You learn how statistics, data analysis and basic machine learning methods are used to investigate medical questions. You work with common software tools to analyze data and interpret the results. You apply these methods to real medical examples and learn how to transfer them to new problems.
