The master’s degree in Digital Medicine focuses on the topics that are necessary for digitization in the healthcare system. It builds on a completed bachelor's or diploma degree in the health sector. The Master's degree then enables you to carry out scientific research and take on strategic and managerial tasks in the field of digital medicine. The course is divided into three main areas: Medical Data Science, Applied Medical Sciences, Regulatory Affairs Management.

The technical Further step and the digitization of communication, processes and processes do not stop at medicine. An ever increasing amount of data and its networking offer unexpected new opportunities for diagnostics, therapy and prevention. We want to help shape these new opportunities for the benefit of the patients together with doctors and other actors in the healthcare system. For this purpose, our unique teaching hospital (BDH) in Braunfels and our application laboratories in the state -of -the -art simulation clinic of the Department S Health in Gießen form a very good basis for this.
