Course description

This course will help you learn the basic fundamentals of digital health technology through hands-on experience, and through exposure to the real-world use of data and informatics in the health industry. The course includes a MOOC component that provides a broad introduction to healthcare informatics. There will also be a number of guest lecturers from industry talking about the current digital health landscape. A major part of the course is composed of a group software development project building a FHIR app for use in a clinical (or clinical education) setting, with real-world clients. FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is the new standard for sharing health data that is revolutionising how clinicians and patients are interacting with digital technology and has been adopted by major global IT companies (e.g., Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.) and digital health vendors (e.g., Cerner, EPIC, etc.). Be at the forefront of healthcare application development by learning about and developing new FHIR and SMART-on-FHIR applications.
