ABSTRACT
This paper aims to describe the co-creation and development processes of an educational ecosystem-centered BSc degree in Digital Health and Biomedical Innovation (SauD InoB). This program is shaped by a multidisciplinary, intersectoral and collaborative framework, involving over 60 organizations in teaching activities and/or internship supervision/hosting, most of which collaborated in needs assessment, curriculum design and public promotion of the degree. In the context of healthcare digital transformation, this comprehensive BSc degree will respond to unmet demands of the labor market by training students with technological, research and management skills, as well as with basic clinical and biomedical concepts. Graduates will become transdisciplinary, creative professionals capable of understanding and integrating different "languages," and reasoning, clinical processes, and scenarios.
