The Medical Engineering degree program combines biomedical engineering with medical needs. To this aim students are trained in the area of industrial and electronic biomedical engineering, alongside the knowledge in medical area, with specific focus on health technologies.

The use of medical technologies is nowadays mandatory for disease prevention and care. Physicians need to work in close contact with experts of biomedical technologies. The hospital will become soon high-tech centers for high complexity care, while new technologies will also allow to reduce hospitalization by increasing home- and self-monitoring and telemedicine.

The Medical Engineering degree program deals with new trends and guidelines for health care services, promoting a new professional profile based on advanced biomechanics, bioimaging, clinical data processing, hardware and software solutions for medicine, and their interconnection with clinical practice as well clinical investigations.

The main objective of the course is to train a new professional able to operate in a national and international context to help industry and hospitals to develop and use efficient technologies into health care facilities, based on innovation but evaluating at the same time technology effectiveness and sustainability.
