| Course Modules | |
Year 1: introduces key principles related to the two disciplines of health and digital technology. Technology-focused modules will provide a foundation for understanding how to develop digital-solutions for health improvement, with modules covering Architecture and Operating Systems, Computational Thinking, and Principles of Programming. Health-focused modules will develop an understanding of health and disease, focusing on understanding the definitions and determinants of both, human anatomy & physiology, and bio markers of health and disease. This will include technology and biomedical laboratory based classes. Year 2: develops both disciplines, moving towards greater integration of the two core disciplines. There is a focus on active problem solving, with health modules focusing on assessing and improving population health, clinical exercise physiology and physiological wellbeing and laboratory skills and data analysis. Technological skills will be developed in relation to software carpentry, mobile and web technologies and physical computing. A module on Human-Centred Design is included, and there is an applied focus on health-related scenario problem solving. Year 3: continues the theme of integration and application of the two disciplines. Human Centred Design will be further developed, and there will be a focus on interventions for health and sustainable development, applied digital health technology, professionalism and ethics in digital health (20). A project will be undertaken that is driven by briefs received from industry partners. Year 4: further develops the application of digital health to real-world problems and extends the scale of these challenges to the population level. Sensor technology will be introduced, and frameworks for public health applied through a placement and a project that draws together multiple themes from the programme into the development of a digital health product aimed at defined problems in specific populations. Evidence based practice will be emphasized to guide the development of creative, constructively critical, and practically capable graduates. |
