HSBH5003: e-Health for Health Professionals
The aim of this unit is to provide future health professionals with a strong foundation in digital health on which they can make evidence-based decisions. In particular, this unit will provide students with opportunities to examine: How technology can affect health and healthcare delivery in different contexts, ethical issues surrounding digital health, innovations in digital health, how emerging technologies affect communication between health professionals, and health professionals and their clients or patients, strategies for interacting with patients and clients using different technologies, and the relationship between users, technologies, data and the wider information network. Students will develop their skills in critically thinking about digital health and its potential to support healthcare. Students will use and evaluate a digital health tool and generate an idea for a new digital intervention to showcase these skills. This unit will also enable students to be lifelong learners by providing them with reflective learning skills.
