Design Health Barcelona (d-HEALTH Barcelona) Part-Time is an 8-month program in a hybrid format for graduates, researchers and professionals who want to learn about entrepreneurship and innovation in healthcare. The program, inspired on Stanford University's Biodesign methodology, provides participants with the tools to develop a business idea based on a real unmet medical need identified in a clinical area of six top hospitals in the BioRegion of Catalonia.

The part-time hybrid format is perfect for individuals who are currently employed or pursuing studies, as it enables successful integration with their daily schedules.
