The main objective of the T4H Doctorate is to train experts capable of designing, experimenting, validating and adopting new technologies and methodologies aimed at preventing and solving problems related to human health and well-being. The student must therefore be able not only to understand and use innovative technologies/methodologies aimed at diagnosis, treatment and care purposes, but also to know how to combine them with the aim of managing complex systems (e.g., environment, ecosystems, nutrition, etc.) which may have a direct or indirect impact on human health and well-being. The student, through appropriate training and research activities, is therefore encouraged to develop a practical and theoretical understanding of the role that enabling technologies/methodologies can play in the clinic, in health support and in the prevention of health risks of different origins. Through possible periods of study abroad, the student also has the opportunity to expand their skills in an international context and acquire further transversal skills (i.e., soft skills) that allow them to work in interdisciplinary groups, with possible leadership roles. Great attention is given to interdisciplinary activity and planning, also through participation in basic and industrial research projects, with moments of feasibility studies and experimental developments.

At the end of the three-year period, the T4H student will therefore be highly qualified to carry out research and innovation activities, in an academic, clinical or industrial field. In order to facilitate the inclusion of the student in important roles on the international scene, moments of dissemination of the activity carried out by the student are planned, in the academic, clinical and industrial fields, at a national and international level.
