Digital Health

Catalog description

This course is designed for graduate students and professionals to gain an understanding of the digital health landscape so you might effectively leverage technology for innovation, with consideration of patient-centered care, equity, and ethical issues. You will explore a range of health care settings, health care data types, the role of patients as sources of data and recipients of information, the role of humans in-the-loop of AI, and the security, privacy, and confidentiality concerns of digital health approaches. We will discuss emerging systems and enabling technologies outside of the hospital: what they can do, what they are unable to do, and which of them have the potential to revolutionize the way we deliver care from birth to old age. You will apply these lessons to design an experimental prototype and draft a plan for a digital health solution.
