Event

The course Digital Health offers students a possibility to gain insight into current developments in the digitalization of the health care system. Students will first be introduced to the basics and challenges of the digitalization of the health care system. After the introduction lecture, the course aims to give insights into current topics in the field of digital health and offers students an opportunity to prepare a scientific paper in a group of up to three students.

There will be a short introduction lecture on all topics with regard to the written assignments. It is possible for students to write their paper in one of the following topics. Furthermore, groups of students have the possibility to propose their own topics.

• Artificial Intelligence
• Blockchain
• Cloud Computing
• Gamification
• Genomics
• Information Privacy

In addition to introduction lectures on the topics, an online course is offered to introduce students to scientific writing. This includes learning how to quote, how a scientific paper is structured and in which form the results of one's research are presented. Since we offer topics that also correspond to the research interests of our research associates, there may also be the opportunity to investigate these topics more deeply in a master thesis. Students can give their preferences for the topics offered and are afterwards assigned to groups of up to three students based on their preferences.

Learning objectives:

Students are familiar with the current developments and challenges of digitization in the health care sector, can independently develop corresponding solutions, and discuss their developed solutions in groups.

Workload:

4,5 ECTS = approx. 135 hours.
