This course aims to equip students with a broad understanding of digital health, emphasizing not only technical skills but also ethical considerations and critical thinking when designing, developing, and implementing digital tools in healthcare settings. The main objective is to set the stage for digital health, in general, and to understand the impact of design, development, and use of digital tools within healthcare settings for optimization purposes, in particular. By the end of the course, the students will be able to illustrate introductory knowledge of digital health, encompassing design, development, and utilization of digital tools in healthcare settings, as demonstrated by their assignment, where the focus is to design a mobile application for a specific case as well as reflect on the ethical implications of working with artificial intelligence as an embedded part of healthcare.

The course instructor is Dr. Anna Sigridur Islind, a professor at the department of computer science at Reykjavik University.
