Telemedicine

eHealth is here to stay, and this Professional Master’s Degree in Telemedicine gives you all the tools you need to master the virtual health sector with guaranteed success"

Since its inception, the health system has been based on a paternalistic model, where the health sector and the health professional have been considered responsible for the patient's health. Hence, digital information systems are the basis of integration for any strategy of change towards eHealth, as they modulate the provision and measurement of outcomes in terms of the relative preferences of decision-makers. Information and Communication Technologies provide solutions to problems related to agents' risk choices in the presence of information asymmetries. 

On the other hand, with the birth of the internet, social networks and applications, in recent years a paradigm shift has begun, in which the patient begins to explore his or her potential to make changes that benefit their health. This represents the basis of patient-centered medicine, where patients, healthcare professionals and the healthcare sector work together to empower the patient for the prevention, timely diagnosis and better management of diseases. Aspects such as ethics and medical and Telemedicine-related liability are also taken into account. 

Furthermore, the student will deepen their understanding of data science and Big Data, as well as all the subject matter related to what is behind the problems, applications, Big Data systems, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). 

Altogether, it is an innovative and essential Professional Master’s Degree which will prepare the future doctor, by establishing the usefulness of data science in the field of health, showing the different problems and benefits that this discipline provides on a virtual level.
