Programme overview
Against the backdrop of a global rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), traditional interventions often fall short in addressing complex chronic and mental health conditions. Digital health technologies offer an unprecedented opportunity to bridge this gap and transform patient care.
This Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) equips forward-thinking professionals with the interdisciplinary frameworks—spanning medicine, computer science, economics, and management—required to harness these innovations. The programme explores viable business models and targeted clinical applications, with an emphasis on precision digital therapeutics and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) to deliver the personalized interventions, in the right amount, at the right time.
