Medical Informatics

Relations:

During a review of study plans, the course X33NRP can be substituted for the course A6M33LI.

It is not possible to register for the course A6M33LI if the student is concurrently registered for or has already completed the course X33NRP (mutually exclusive courses).

The requirement for course A6M33LI can be fulfilled by substitution with the course X33NRP.

Synopsis:

The course explains specific problems of information systems in health care, protection of medical data, processing of medical data, and intelligent monitoring systems. Possibilities of application of telemedicine in different fields of health care are discussed.

The computer labs are focused on practical tasks in medical informatics, as for example database technology, data protection and security, examples of health care information systems, applications of mobile technologies, resources of medical information.

Requirements:

We expect programming knowlege (skills) programování as specified in the courses

B6B36PJV/A7B36PJV or equivalent. In case student does not show the skills required

(in test in the first week or by passing 36PJV),

he/she looses the right to obtain assessment.
