Human Centered Design for Clinical Emergency Medicine

Catalog description

This capstone course is a project-based experience for graduate students where they will effectively serve as design consultants for Penn Department of Emergency Medicine. Selected students should have familiarity of technical fundamentals, such as engineering design and data analysis, and will have the opportunity to use those skills to solve challenges facing two premier emergency departments. This flipped-classroom course combines lectures and significant asynchronous laboratory and clinical immersion experiences. By the end of the course, students will use human centered design to develop a functional prototype and collect preliminary data on their solution, which will be presented to Emergency Medicine Leadership.
