Digital Health MSc programme

The international guests of the Centre for Digital Health brought us together for an inspiring afternoon of lectures, discussion, and knowledge exchange.

We had the pleasure of hearing from 🇭🇷 Anamaria Malešević, who spoke about readiness for digitalisation and AI in healthcare, sharing examples from Croatia and the experiences of patients with autoimmune diseases.

🇯🇵 Jeyoon Choi introduced NeuroTAIA, exploring how individuals can gain enforceable control over their brain data and how advances in computational neuroscience can support data governance in neuroimaging.

🇩🇪 Prof. Dr. Daniela Eidt-Koch shared insights into digital health technologies and recommendations for their further development and adoption in Germany, drawing on best-practice examples.

The afternoon was a wonderful opportunity to learn from international experiences, exchange ideas and connect with colleagues across disciplines and countries.

✨ PAM in Paris: First Big Leap into Europe

What an incredible experience at EIT Health Career Path: From Students to Innovators 2025 in Paris!

A Digital Health programme first‑year student team pitched PAM (Parental Assistant in Medicine) in the semi-finals. Even though PAM didn’t make it to the finals, presenting to a European audience and standing alongside so many inspiring teams already felt like a huge win.

Beyond the competition, the highlight was the people: authentic pitches, late-night networking stories, and conversations that showed how careers often grow from curiosity and connection.
Big congrats to ColoSense (Spain) and VitaEase (Latvia) for taking the top spots! For PAM, this was just the beginning of its journey into Europe - and the team is excited for what comes next. 🚀
