Innovative Technology for Healthy Living

Overview

The master’s programme in Innovative Technology for Healthy Living is a collaboration between EIT Health Partners from academia, research centres and industry. The programme will foster a new generation of master’s graduates with advanced skills and approaches within health-related engineering and innovation. 

The overall aim of the programme is to equip students with the skills to develop technical and business solutions for healthy living and active ageing. Their work will encourage good health habits in the general population and promote the future wellness of all citizens.  

A major goal is to enable future scientists and entrepreneurs to create engineering and business solutions that make it possible for citizens to monitor and manage their own health by being informed and skilled in making wellness-driven choices. 

Careers

The Innovative Technology for Healthy Living programme from KTH Royal Institute of Technology is a collaboration between partners from academia, research centres and industry to create a new generation of students with multidisciplinary research skills capable of translating research outcomes into innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives and business opportunities. Graduates will lead the creation of new devices, services and professions for a healthier Europe.

Keeping in mind that the topic of the final master’s thesis is industry and clinically motivated, a natural step further is to explore the commercialisation and business potential of this topic. 

Graduates from the programme are qualified to join innovation projects at KI/KTH (e.g. We@Work, POSITIVE), and leading industrial companies (Philips, Maquet Critical Care, ContextVision), and have the potential to contribute to e.g. regulatory institutions and governing bodies.
