The goal of this course is to provide the students with detailed theoretical and hands-on knowledge and with practical methods and competences needed for the development of future Digital Health solutions. The focus is particularly on two perspectives - "Digital Health Applications" and "Digital Health Data".
"Digital Health Applications" relates to the role of a solution designer and developer of user applications for the health and care sector, dealing with aspects of Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) and user-centered design (UCD) of solutions involving different stakeholder groups. "Digital Health Data" relates to the role of a data engineer, designing and developing the data model from data collection by eHealth devices and applications, data integration, communication, and storage to processing, evaluation, and provisioning.
The course will in the first part provide all students with a common theoretical overview over both perspectives. In the second part, the students will specialize for one perspective, based on their background and interests, and will proceed with supervised eLearning, including self-study and micro-assignments.
