The use of different technologies in healthcare is growing exponentially. This has led to a transformation in the approaches to health problems and challenges globally. Health technologies have been used to support diagnosing, treatment, and monitoring of different health conditions, as well as to protect the health sector from cyber threats and to improve quality of life for many people.
There is an urgent need for professionals in health technologies to support the development and implementation of different and emerging technologies within the health sector. Areas are needed, spanning, but not limited to, development of new systems, automation of clinical-related tasks, network management, cyber security, artificial intelligence, data analytics and support for medical image processing.
Health Technologies accommodates graduates from a range of areas, from healthcare, nursing, biology, and psychology to computing, cyber security, games, and engineering. Due to the research focus of this course, students will have the opportunity to learn different skills to support their work, bridging gaps in any area related to either health or technologies needed for completing your project.
This will be a project-oriented course, meaning that instead of focusing on different modules and assignments, students will have the opportunity to work with emerging issues in the health sector and apply their skills in the area from the beginning of the course.
Join us and learn a multi-disciplinary degree that binds health and technology and support you with enhancing your employability and knowledge in an ever-growing area.
The School of Business, Computing, and Social Science actively engages in both pure and applied research, knowledge transfer, and industry-focused projects. Our team includes researchers with expertise in the Internet of Things, Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Software Engineering.
This robust and dynamic foundation enables postgraduate researchers to participate in health-related studies requiring advanced analytics, such as monitoring health data from IoT devices, enhancing decision-making processes, and developing health-tracking mobile applications.
We offer a range of further research training events, postgraduate researcher-led seminars, conferences, and summer schools – as well as training offered through other universities and bodies.
This diverse range of events helps you gain the skills and confidence you need to underpin your research journey.

The security of Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) is an emerging area in research where classical cryptographic methods are not applicable in IMDs due to limitation of available resources.
This project employs scientific and engineering theories to extract true randomness from body physiological signals, with the aim of developing advanced cryptographic methods for devices with scarce resources.
This is a collaborative project between UoG and Imperial College, funded by PETRAS hub and InnovativeUK.

The health of living organisms is dependent on a cell’s condition and research shows that the more energetically a cell pulses, the healthier it is.
This project employs scientific and engineering theories to study the relationship between electromagnetic signals and cell pulsations, with the aim of developing bionic technologies to enhance cell pulsations and, hence, their health, then the health of human beings and animals.
This is an international collaboration project between UoG, Imperial College, Jilin University and a number of companies in UK and China.
