Recent technology advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic have revolutionized healthcare. Healthcare professionals now rely on digital health tools—such as wearable devices, sensors, AI-enabled clinical services, telemedicine applications and remote patient monitoring systems—to diagnose patients and monitor their care.

In this certificate program, you’ll be introduced to this exciting new era of healthcare. You’ll learn about the latest trends in digital health, such as the role of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and robotics, data visualization and virtual and augmented reality, smart healthcare platforms, m-health, and telemedicine. And you’ll learn new skills through hands-on, interactive exercises.

Please note this workshop is part of an online, asynchronous workshop, meaning it takes place online, on your own time. There are no live meetings, either in person or online. You can view and complete assignments on your own time to fit into your busy schedule. However, you will need to commit six hours each week to complete each workshop and hands-on skills training assignments. You will interact with your fellow students and your instructor via weekly collaborative discussion forums and submit interactive Panopto videos.

Your instructor will be available to meet with you virtually, by appointment.

When you complete this program, you will earn a certificate.

Overview of Digital Health

Digital health improves access to quality care, reduces inefficiencies and covers medical technologies. This foundational topic will cover innovative technologies, and identify opportunities and challenges in the digital healthcare industry.

Digital Health, Artificial Intelligence, Predictive Analytics and Robotics

Artificial intelligence applications increasingly are used for computer-aided detection, diagnosis and patient monitoring. The subject introduces applications of robotics and identifies recent advancements in predictive analytics.

Digital Health, Data Visualization and Virtual and Augmented Reality

This workshop provides the foundations necessary to understand key data visualization techniques. Students will identify key application areas for virtual and augmented reality, including visualization exercises with COVID-19 data.

Digital Health and Smart Healthcare Platforms

This subject will focus on clinical decision support and smart healthcare services and applications. The content includes a hands-on exercise with a clinical decisions support tool algorithm.

Digital Health and m-Health

This topic covers m-Health in clinical and home settings, remote patient monitoring applications, challenges and future trends, basic computer programming exercises for beginners and hands-on exercises with mobile health applications. Mobile health (m-Health) includes medical services and public health activities enabled by mobile devices. Most uses of mobile health are delivered by either texting or through apps.

Digital Health and Telemedicine

This workshop explores all of the ways patients and doctors can use technology to communicate without being in the same room. It includes phone calls, video chats, emails, and text messages. Various telehealth modalities are discussed along with communicating test results for echocardiograms, electroencephalograms and other laboratory tests as well as monitoring chronic illnesses.
