- Synopsis:
-
The aim of the course is to introduce to students the basics of information technology and telemedicine at the level of a more professional user. The student will gain a sufficient comprehensive overview of the use of information technology in medicine and telemedicine, and specifically in the field of optics and optometry. Emphasis is placed on a general overview and knowledge of the principles and mechanisms, so that the student has a clear idea of the possibilities and risks associated with the use of computer technology in medicine. Based on the acquired knowledge, the student should be able to choose appropriate hardware and software solutions according to the requirements of applications, he/she should have a basic awareness of security in IT. The student should get a good basis for the use of information technology.
