Engineers trained in this major are prepared to excel in the multifaceted realm of medical technology, seamlessly integrating engineering principles with healthcare insights to drive innovation and solutions.
This course is offered on the Paris campus.
The MedTech & Health major has been awarded the Medicen label, a certification issued by the Commission Compétences du pôle de compétitivité santé Medicen Paris Region. This label distinguishes training programmes that meet the skills needs of the healthtech ecosystem (start-ups, industry, research, etc.).
This major uses teaching that combines life and human sciences, artificial intelligence and technologies, medical regulations and biotechnologies. Engineers taking this major are therefore positioned at the intersection between people, technology and medical professionals, and are at the heart of the digital transformation of the medical sector and biotechnologies.
Our students excel working on innovative projects that help people. The multidisciplinary scientific training combined with the available facilities (Fab Lab, IoT laboratory, deep learning computational server, etc.) help students design and develop prototypes that win recognition in major national competitions and lead to the creation of startups: custom orthopaedic supports, connected skin, artificial hands, using AI to help people with disabilities, physiotherapy aids, brain-machine interfaces, etc.
The MedTech & Health major is certified by Medicen Paris Region. The Medicen label, awarded by the Skills Commission of the Medicen Paris Region health competitiveness cluster, aims to identify training programmes that meet the skills needs of the healthtech ecosystem (start-ups, industry, research, etc.). This label offers certified programmes increased visibility among healthtech recruiters through access to the Medicen cluster network, which brings together more than 500 private and public players in health innovation. It brings training programmes closer to the ecosystem, facilitates student recruitment (internships, work-study programmes, first jobs), adapts the educational offering to skills needs, and promotes the emergence of synergies and partnerships between players in the sector.
