Program Philosophy
Health and Biomedical Analytics is a field that integrates various analytical sciences,
including biomedical science, health science, and information technology. This integration
combines fundamental research principles, advanced biomedical analysis techniques, data
management, life sciences, health data mining, innovation, and artificial intelligence to
generate new and valuable knowledge.
The goal of this program is to equip students from diverse professional backgrounds with
the skills and knowledge to analyze and apply theories from related fields to address
current and future health challenges at both the individual and community levels. This will
require students to have 21st-century learning skills and to apply research-based strategies
to real-life health and healthcare challenges.
The ultimate outcome of this program is the production of health innovations and
technology innovations that improve the health and well-being of individuals and
communities globally through the development of advanced healthcare systems. Graduates
of this program are expected to demonstrate integrity, morality, professional ethics,
practical skills, positive attitudes, and a compassionate and caring spirit, thus earning the
trust, acceptance, and respect of society for a long time.
The Objectives of the Program
The aim is to produce graduates in Health and Biomedical Analytics who are highly
ethical, moral, and innovative leaders who can integrate various sciences in the fields of
health and information technology to create new knowledge. These graduates will use
research-based strategies to develop health and technology innovations, leading to an
improved healthcare system and better overall health for society. The graduates will be
equipped with integrity, professional ethics, knowledge, practical skills, good attitudes,
compassion, and a respect for human dignity, and they will inspire trust, acceptance, and
respect from communities.
