Students At HTL Spengergasse Explored Modern Medical IT And Medical Technology
17 July, 2026
At UAS Technikum Wien, the young people learned firsthand about data exchange, visualization, and monitoring. The program combined digital health with assistive technologies and introduced them to related degree programs.
On July 1, students from the HTL Spengergasse who had chosen medical informatics as their major immersed themselves in applied teaching and research at UAS Technikum Wien. As part of a customized workshop, the fourth-year students experienced, through four rotating hands-on sessions, how the interfaces between modern IT, clinical processes, and patient-centered medical technology actually interlock in real-world scenarios.
eCard Interfaces for Secure Clinical Data Exchange
At the “Digital Health” station, the students tested the secure clinical data exchange of the future using FHIR standards and eCard interfaces. The “Extended Reality in Medicine” module offered immersive insights into software-supported visualization of anatomical data for clinical training.
Patient Monitoring in a Simulated Emergency
In the “Intensive Care Medical Devices & Workflows” section, the students learned about life-support systems and patient monitoring in a simulated emergency. Finally, in the “Accessibility & Digital Technologies” section, they explored how assistive systems ensure patients’ independence in everyday life.
This direct exchange builds an ideal bridge to our practice-oriented Bachelor’s program in Biomedical Engineering as well as our Master’s programs in Medical Engineering & eHealth and Health and Rehabilitation Technology. It demonstrates how seamlessly an HTL education transitions into our academic degree tracks.
