Beschreibung des Programms

The master's programme in Innovative Technology for Healthy Living focuses on technical solutions for wellness and active lifestyles. Big data obtained by sensors and wearables from regular citizens and professional athletes is translated into contributions to healthy living, boosting public health initiatives and wellness innovations. Graduates are R&D specialists with vital entrepreneurial skills, able to bridge human science, technology and health.

Innovative Technology for Healthy Living at KTH

The master's programme in Innovative Technology for Healthy Living is a collaboration between academia, research centres and industry. The programme fosters a new generation of master's graduates with advanced skills and approaches to health-related engineering and innovation. The programme equips you with the skills to develop technical and business solutions for healthy living and active ageing. Your future work will encourage good health habits in the general population and promote the future wellness of all citizens. A major goal of the programme is to enable future scientists and entrepreneurs to create engineering and business solutions allowing the citizens to monitor and manage their health by being informed and skilled in making wellness-driven choices.

The academic faculty involved in the programme has the knowledge and experience to develop, plan and implement sports and exercise activities for individuals (athletes, non-athletes and those with more sedentary lifestyles) and monitor the effects or the impact of such involvement and participation on their health and well-being, using evidence-based on anthropometric, biomechanical, biochemical, physiological and psychological parameters. Today's rapid developments in sensor technology, mobile data acquisition, and improved risk assessment methodologies combined with Big Data analysis allow the development of pervasive and personalised solutions. The potential of these personalised solutions can span all levels, from cellular through organismic to systemic.

The curriculum includes traditional theoretical and practical training and courses that implement active learning and teaching strategies, team collaboration, aligned teaching, ideation, project management and entrepreneurship skills gained outside the university setting. Challenges within the multidisciplinary areas associated with healthy living and active ageing, and that relate directly to innovation and entrepreneurship, include personalised lifestyle plans. The programme combines advanced scientific education, entrepreneurship training, learning-by-doing pedagogical approach and innovation workshops and round tables.

On successful completion of the programme, the graduates should be able to:

  • Conduct independent research demonstrating a high level of discipline-specific skills;
  • Illustrate a deeper understanding of practical translational research through laboratory practise or industrial rotations;
  • Acquire skills relating to value-based healthcare to quantify the effect of the different interventions;
  • Describe in detail the translation of innovative research to the clinical and commercial arena;
  • Demonstrate awareness of the development and protection of Intellectual Property

Informationen über das Institut

KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm is one of Europe’s leading technical universities, as well as a key centre of intellectual talent and innovation. We are Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers, and faculty from around the world dedicated to advancing knowledge.

History

KTH is a university with a rich history of pioneering ideas and innovation that dates back to 1827. For nearly 200 years KTH has educated students who have gone on to influence our present and make the technological advances that define modern society. Still today, KTH shapes the talents that will find the solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

Research

KTH is working with industry and society in the pursuit of sustainable solutions to some of humanity’s most significant challenges: climate change, future energy supply, urbanisation, and quality of life for the rapidly-growing elderly population. We are addressing these with world-leading, high-impact research and education in natural sciences and all branches of engineering, as well as in architecture, industrial management, urban planning, history, and philosophy. Almost two-thirds of the SEK 4 billion turnovers are related to research.

Basic and applied research is performed side-by-side at KTH and interdisciplinary research is conducted in parallel with work in specific fields.

Career

KTH maintains close relationships with an expanding network of international companies and the industrial community in a number of fields, and working and studying here provides access to this network.

The latest career report shows that 94 percent of those who graduated from KTH 2010-2012 have been employed since they finished their degree and a remaining 6 percent have gone on to Ph.D. studies. Of the international student population, 30 percent go on to Ph.D. studies at KTH or other renowned universities. 32 percent of KTH Alumni leave Sweden for work or studies abroad. 13 percent lead others in their work, and 13 percent have already received their first managerial position.
