Digital Health And Care, University Of Bristol

Digital Health at the University of Bristol is a vibrant and exciting community of academics, researchers and students working at the cutting edge of digital health innovation. The Digital Health Engineering group (26 academics, 20 postdocs, 40 PhD students and 15 MSc students) applies computer science and electronic technologies to health and well-being challenges. Working with clinicians and the public, we research and design wearable sensors, low power communication networks, computer vision systems and machine learning methods that can reason about these diverse sources of data. The group includes an EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital Health and Care, offering fully funded 4 year PhD courses, and an MSc in Digital Health and Care, including scholarships and fee discounts for successful applicants. Both courses welcome applications from UK and overseas students with a background in engineering, computer sciences and health sciences. The Group has expanded rapidly in recent years, funded by around £25M of grants since 2013 from EPSRC, MRC and H2020. Our flagship project "SPHERE" is a suite of custom IoT technologies deployed in 50 local homes, gathering a globally-unique dataset.
