Health IT Technician

ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH IT SOLUTIONS

Engineering Technicians intervene in the feasibility studies, trials and maintenance of software solutions in the medical and biotechnological fields; they guarantee the correct management of information systems, the integration of biomedical informatics systems (medical records, PACS, RIS, LIS, etc.) and the administration of complex network infrastructures in public and private, national and international companies in the New Life Technologies sector. In line with the “Industry 4.0” strategies, the course includes lessons on the realization of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) systems and 3D modeling for the biomedical sector, and favours knowledge extraction through the support and development of IoHT platforms.

Engineering Technicians value and support good hospital practices, more and more linked to a constant technological evolution, and are highly qualified to work in companies, hospitals and research centres in the biomedical informatics and biotechnologies fields.

“The biomedical and BioICT sectors are in constant evolution: our companies need qualified and up-to-date young technicians, already integrated in the professional fields in which they will operate. ITS A. Volta respond effectively to our professional needs”

“Today’s world has no borders: the Health IT course is a highly-technical specialization path that allowed me to intern at an important company, and my degree to be recognized in Europe. In addition, ITS A. Volta job placement services provide valuable help to find a job in line with our personal and professional aspirations.
