Based on the challenges currently presented by the health sector, an educational program that aims to professionalize the skills of experts through the use of technologies is made available.
Oberta University of Catalunya (UOC) has opened an academic program that responds to the needs of different areas of the health sector. This program incorporates the new technologies that evolve day by day, making use of technology as a guiding thread for the improvement in effectiveness and efficiency of interventions aimed at both health promotion and education for the healthy population, such as diagnosis or monitoring of chronic and acute patients.
The world of health is changing rapidly and Digital Health becomes a trend. The advances of science, coupled with a growth in our computing capacity, have helped to live an explosion of new devices, tools, biosensors and diagnostic methods that, well implemented, allow the improvement of health services.
In the Master in Digital Health (eHealth), taught through an online platform (it could not be otherwise), it is sought that health professionals adopt technology as a conductive thread between patients and the different provider organizations of services. This will help them to know patients better, to efficiently store your medical record, and to provide better services that enhance diagnosis, monitoring and follow-up.
In the course, these benefits are expected to be the main focus, but without neglecting the need to sensitize both, experts and society, in general to overcome the natural resistance that occurs in the adoption processes.
The Master's Degree is aimed at health professionals interested in the subject, and who develop both assistance and non-assistance tasks.
The goal is to shine a light on important topics that can give more training to professionals on the different digital tools.
Faced with this changing world, universities also change, thus maintaining the objective of having academic programs that not only position their university, but also join efforts to improve the quality of health services, and therefore the quality of life of people, and society as a whole.
The digital format also allows the course to be taken from different parts of the world and adapts to the needs and schedules of each person.
Upon completion, professionals will have a greater context of the demands of patients who ask for more and more knowledge, and who seek better way and technological tools to take care of their health.
This is how the Official Master on Digital Health by the UOC seeks to respond to these needs and make relationships between professionals and patients closer and more informed, in order to lead a healthier lifestyle. It is almost a tailor-made service that can be achieved with technological advances when properly implemented.
