The rapid evolution of the technologies made available by the consumer market often does not allow their timely use in the world of healthcare and well-being; on the other hand, it is necessary to guarantee a continuous availability of enabling technologies and innovative approaches also in the sector of diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Consistently, the “Technology for Health” Doctorate (T4H) offers an interdisciplinary program that combines various fields of engineering and medicine, such as bioinformatics, physics, chemistry, life sciences, biotechnology, ICT technologies, clinical and experimental sciences , molecular medicine, public health, biomechanics and materials science. Within the program, the student is therefore led to focus his/her activity on a specific research field with a strong translational connotation, also enhancing the training path and the moments of cultural exchange organized by the T4H Doctorate, involving the student community, so as to guarantee the interdisciplinary imprint. Interdisciplinarity is also combined with a strong international character, both at the level of the Academic Board and at the level of the reference student community itself; within the Program, the student is therefore pushed to compare and projected into a scenario of high scientific content. The T4H Program is divided into three years within which various training and research activities are planned, defined at a national and international level; the student is also supported in dissemination, through participation in conference and publicity activities. In order to guarantee internationalization, the T4H Doctorate encourages the student to carry out research activities even outside the Brescia university community, also supporting their participation in funded projects and contact with realities of various nature, from the clinical to the industrial one. Finally, the vision of the research training path with its characteristics of high-level cultural in-depth analysis, promotion of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge is widely supported by the composition of the Academic Board which embraces disciplinary sectors of Area 09 of industrial engineering and information, Area 03 of chemical sciences, Area 06 of medical sciences and Area 05 of biological sciences.

The doctorate is equipped with a system of constant updating and development of training and research activities which follows both the technical and scientific evolution of the reference areas and also consultations with identified stakeholders (both internal and external) such as students of master's degree courses as potential future doctoral students and local companies as future scenarios for the development of the third level professional figure that is intended to be trained within the doctorate.
