This module focuses on developing and analysing business strategies and application of them to real-life business scenarios. At the end of this module, you will be able to identify key success factors for implementing a digital health solution and leveraging digital opportunities to add value for stakeholders in the healthcare sector.

This module aims to provide a conceptual overview of innovation and an understanding of the main phases of health innovation using a human-centered approach. You will explore the different phases of implementing a digital solution: from strategy to solution delivery. Learn how to engage stakeholders involved in developing innovative healthcare solutions, understand the barriers and drivers to success, and how to build and strengthen multidisciplinary teams successfully.

Value-based healthcare is increasingly becoming a topic of interest. The goal of this module is to explore how managers involved in care delivery will add value for patients and people who make decisions in the digital age. Based on the increasing prevalence of aging populations and chronic diseases, as well as the structural need to address them, VBHC aims to target the outcomes that have the greatest impact on patients while also driving cost efficiency in healthcare, especially in the digital era.

Data science and artificial intelligence (AI) are playing an increasingly significant role in bringing innovation and patient care together in the healthcare sector. This module will help you understand how new technologies like artificial intelligence, deep learning, and machine learning can positively impact the healthcare industry, making workflow operations easier and helping with the development of more accurate patient diagnoses.

This module analyses the latest market trends for products, services, and technologies in the medical device and diagnostics industry, and assesses market needs in the context of changing global demographics. Understand what tomorrow's innovations will be made of and how these can be relevant for decision makers to provide real added value for the companies and structures mobilising these E-health solutions. Discover enablers and barriers to innovation (for example, the role of culture, regulations, cost effectiveness, and appropriate pricing) in various geographical markets and industry sectors.

This module will help you gain vital knowledge and expertise in financial matters, learn to evaluate various models of financing a digital solution, and discuss the challenges and opportunities related to the use of data, data-gathering, and other aspects of healthcare information systems to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare delivery system stakeholders.
