Catalog description

This course focuses on how digital technology can be used in modern healthcare, as well as to improve the everyday health and well-being of people in the real-world beyond the clinic. We will explore both the devices (hardware) and data science behind creating digital therapeutics (DTx) for a range of health conditions. The course will include a mix of lectures and hands-on activities, which will involve designing your own digital health solution (in groups). Course topics will include: DTx, mHealth, wearables, IOT devices, smart homes, healthcare robotics, virtual health assistants, digital biomarkers, AI in digital health, computing architecture for digital health, prototyping methods, and related ethical issues. The course is an opportunity to see how healthcare is changing in a world where the lines between the physical and the digital are increasingly blurring.
