Digital Health

Course Description

This fully online non-technical course is designed for professionals and graduate students to gain an understanding of the digital health landscape so they might effectively leverage technology for innovation, with consideration of patient-centered care, equity, and ethical issues. Students 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. There will be discussions of emerging systems still in their infancy, and enabling technologies outside of the hospital: what they can do, what they are unable to do, and which have the potential to revolutionize the way we deliver care from birth to old age.
