Course description
The focus of the course is on the deployment of digital health technology into healthcare and self-care. Using a series of clinical examples, this course examines the utility of digital health technologies in clinical practice. The distinctly different sectors of hospital, community (primary care) and home will be explored and the significant digital health technologies that are relevant to each sector. In addition you will examine how technology can support and engage the consumer in self-care 'wellness' priorities of governments as they seek to ensure future good population health. Implementation of ICT in Australia, other developed and developing nations will be covered.
