About This Course

In the third decade of the 21st century, healthcare is already extensively digital, and this is only the beginning. 

From hybrid healthcare platforms and at-home diagnostic devices, through AI-driven diagnosis and robotic surgery, and all the way to microfluidic “organs-on-a-chip”, 3D-printed tissues, genomics and individual therapeutics, digital technology revolutionizes medicine, improves diagnostic and therapeutic precision, enhances the ability to overcome once incurable diseases, and improves the overall quality of life.

This course would serve as an introduction to the exciting field of digital medicine with a special focus on genetics and their applications. 

The course is comprised of theoretical lectures, peer learning in small groups and live talks by industry leaders from the innovative Israeli medical ecosystem, together with the extensive corpus of knowledge available to participants on the DigitalRosh website for additional learning during and after the course.
