This includes taking account of contextual features in the development and application of new and existing digital health technologies in different clinical settings. Drawing on current digital health research, students will design, develop and evaluate their digital health transformation and implementation proposal relevant to their chosen project context. Students will develop reflective learning skills and have opportunities to incorporate their existing clinical and technology skills into interdisciplinary health projects.
