Msc in Applied Digital Health at Oxford

Multidisciplinary and expert led

This applied, interdisciplinary MSc is led by the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS), capitalising on our internationally leading digital health research. In addition, the course draws on the expertise of faculty from across the University to create an interdisciplinary learning experience, spanning medicine, social and behavioural science, economics, engineering, artificial intelligence, and data science.  

The course is further enriched by linking to the department's Oxford Institute of Digital Health, National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oxford & Thames Valley Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), which is hosted by NDPCHS (led by Theme Lead John Powell, Academic Co-Director for this MSc), as well as the NIHR Community Healthcare MedTech and IVD Cooperative and the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Center. 

Who is this course designed for?

Aimed at early or mid-career professionals, entrants to this course will come from a wide range of backgrounds, including clinical medicine, public health, medical sociology, psychology, statistics, computer science and engineering. While no pre-existing knowledge is assumed, you must have an interest in both the social and technical aspects of digital health.

Course outline

This course consists of eight compulsory modules, each spanning a two-week block, and a dissertation. The academic year is split into three terms of eight weeks, however, assignments are not restricted to term time only.

The content will take a broad perspective on digital health, equipping students to be future researchers, policymakers, technology specialists or health practitioners. Wherever their particular interests may lie, we believe course graduates will be well placed to do pioneering work in the digital health sector.

Tech-Driven Conservation: Protecting the Congo Basin Rainforest

The Congo Basin rainforest, the world’s second-largest tropical forest, plays a crucial role in global biodiversity and climate regulation.  Spanning over 500 million acres, it is home to diverse wildlife, including gorillas, forest elephants, and rare plant species.  Additionally, the rainforest acts as a major carbon sink, helping mitigate climate change. However, illegal logging, mining, and agricultural expansion pose significant threats to this fragile ecosystem. Technology is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against deforestation and habitat destruction.  Advanced satellite imagery and AI-powered monitoring systems are being used to track illegal activities in real time, allowing conservationists to respond swiftly to environmental threats.  Drones are also being deployed for aerial surveillance, capturing high-resolution images to assess forest health and detect deforestation hotspots. Blockchain technology is revolutionizing supply chain transparency,...
