New technologies based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are transforming the fields of medicine and life sciences.
When considering the latest advancements in information technology applied to health sciences, biotechnology and medical research – such as the development in “omics” data, imaging, electronic health records and digitised biology applications – the massive volume of data that these new technologies generate every day can be surprising. However, these data mines are often underutilised due to the challenges associated with their analysis, leading to the emerging need for experts who can bridge the gap between data science and health sciences, while taking advantage of innovations, such as partial automation of healthcare processes and the development of new patient-oriented tools and services. To address these unmet demands from hospitals, patients, research centers and companies, Bocconi University and Humanitas University have joined forces to develop a new Master of Science in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Health Sciences.
Thanks to the Bocconi-Humanitas partnership, the program provides multidisciplinary training in statistics, mathematics, computer science, and medicine-biology. The ultimate goal is to improve patient care and quality of life, advance scientific research, harness the value of data within the health sciences and meet the challenges presented when analyzing such data.
The two-year MSc, in English, specifically focuses on the intersection between data science, medicine and life sciences, aiming to develop professionals with advanced knowledge in data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and all the knowledge necessary to apply these advanced skills within hospitals, research laboratories, companies and regulatory bodies. Graduates are expected to possess the analytical skills valuable in health sciences. They will master data analysis combined with an understanding of the peculiarities of healthcare data, national healthcare systems, and the ethical and regulatory implication of collaboration between academia and industry.
In today’s rapidly changing world, there is an increasing demand for healthcare organizations to integrate the big data available to them into their daily operations. This has created a need for professional figures with an understanding of both the healthcare sector and the theoretical and practical knowledge required to implement AI and machine learning methods.
This is why Bocconi University and Humanitas University have joined forces to offer the Master of Science in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Health Sciences, with the aim of preparing these professionals for the job market. The new MSc offers a novel mix of skills and disciplines, benefitting from the distinctive specializations of both Universities.
The Bocconi-Humanitas partnership intends to leverage the extensive medical, biological and healthcare experience in medicine provided by Humanitas University and its joint hospital networks – including the flagship Humanitas Research Hospital – and the extensive experience in AI, statistics and data science from Bocconi University and Bocconi’s Departments of Computing Sciences and Decision Sciences.
The two-year program is based on a complementary blend of the two University’s strengths. The result is an interdisciplinary and well-balanced foundation that will allow participants to apply the latest technology within the complexity of modern healthcare settings.
