Introducing students with fundamental principles of applied information technologies in medicine, with a goal of examining the important characteristics of implementations of new technologies in medicine. Simulation of realistic problems and specific requirements for implementation of logical structures in hospitals, telediagnostics, national and global healthcare information systems.

Upon successful completion of this course, students shall be able to: •Distinguish different branches of software engineering, as well as to differentiate which part of the Information System covers which branch of software engineering •Define the specifics of medical information systems and ways of their design •Apply the acquired knowledge to create models of simple and medium complexity of medical information systems •Adequately analyze the requirements for the creation of an information system for a given problem •Create a set of models that define a medical information system •Create the necessary documentation and models for the development-construction of medical information systems
