052362 – PROGETTO [INFORMAZIONE]
L’insegnamento Progetto [Informazione] ha lo scopo di sviluppare la capacità di applicare la formazione maturata nel triennio, mediante lo svolgimento autonomo di un tema progettuale. Viene data importanza anche alla capacità di interazione in lavoro di squadra e di presentazione del lavoro svolto e dei risultati raggiunti.
All’inizio dell’insegnamento gli studenti vengono suddivisi in gruppi di lavoro e ad ogni gruppo viene assegnato un progetto che verte sui seguenti temi: sviluppo di metodi di elaborazione di dati diagnostici e fisiologici, estrazione di parametri, classificazione, trattamento di informazioni biologiche e mediche e dei relativi aspetti organizzativi, approfondimenti teorici e pratici sulla sensoristica e la strumentazione biomedicale per la misura e il monitoraggio di parametri vitali, per la valutazione funzionale di sistemi fisiologici, per uso terapeutico e di supporto funzionale.
L’insegnamento prevede 2 CFU erogati con Didattica Innovativa: Soft Skills.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is a key component to ensuring quality, safety, access and efficiency in healthcare. This course introduces current approaches and future directions in e-health and the use of ICT in healthcare in general, as well as key concepts and tools from the underlying discipline of health informatics.
Topics include: electronic health records (EHRs); hospital and primary care and public health information systems; supporting clinical decision-making for health professionals through ICT; e-health in the community for preventive healthcare and for patient and career support; regulatory influences on e-health including management and governance, privacy, security, and confidentiality; the role of data standards, vocabularies, and nomenclatures in e-health; research and development in e-health.
