This module provides an introduction to the medical informatics and medical technology.

**Professional competence** The students:
- know the medical and healthcare computer science applications
- know typical IT solutions and infrastructures
- know the legal framework to process care data
- know medical classifications and nomenclatures and the DRG-System and are able to apply them

**Methodological competence** The students:
- know bio-medical research requirements and patient data privacy methods
- know communication standards and apply them in small-scale scenarios
- know and apply patient safety and risk management methods
- know and apply biosignal and image processing methods

**Social competence** The students:
