The new Master of Science programme in Health Informatics results from the strategic collaboration between Politecnico di Milano – especially the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering – and Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele. It will start in the next academic year 2024-2025 to develop advanced informatics skills applied to the field of medicine.

The study course aims at training professionals capable of leading one of the greatest revolutions in medicine and scientific research, determined by the wide development of advanced informatics and Artificial Intelligence in the healthcare sector. This change necessarily requires new talents, capable to integrate advanced computer science skills with a solid and broad knowledge of the healthcare context.

The programme is multidisciplinary and involves extensive use of practical activities at laboratories and research centers. It offers a particularly important "training ground" for education and practice: the UniSR/OSR Artificial Intelligence Center AI-HUB, that has a digital platform, developed by UniSR in collaboration with Microsoft, which greatly enhances the use of big data from the real-clinical-world to develop Artificial Intelligence algorithms.
