Target group
This course is for people interested in eHealth and Telemedicine. The main target group will be people directly or indirectly involved in healthcare. This can be nurses, physicians, dentists, physiotherapists as well as people who have an IT background and would like to learn more about IT in healthcare. Since the role of technology is increasing in healthcare, the industry workforce will need higher technical knowledge to effectively deliver high quality health services. Increased healthcare consumerism is also creating pressure for individuals to actively participate in their own health. As a result, this course can also contribute to increasing digital health literacy for individuals and teaching them how to actively engage with their healthcare system using modern technologies.
