0.5 Credits.

This seminar is for graduate students with an interest in digital health innovation who want to explore pathways to entrepreneurship. We are in the midst of a revolution in digital health with the widespread adoption of electronic medical records and increasing adoption of wearable fitness and health tracking devices. Maturing big data analytics, artificial intelligence and clinical decision support tools allow for rapid deployment of innovations. Although we now have the ability to derive insights from text, data and images spanning petabytes of data, learners in this course will have the opportunity to carefully define what the exact healthcare problem is that any particular solution is looking to solve. They will hear from experts in the field about features of digital health solutions that can be used to solve problems. Students will explore the advantages, disadvantages and value proposition for various digital health solutions and the associated market opportunities.
