Description

This course explores the rapidly evolving field of mobile health (mHealth), focusing on the technologies, devices, and platforms that enable the delivery of healthcare services via mobile and wireless systems. Students will examine a range of mHealth devices—including wearables, portable diagnostics, and smart medical tools—and how these technologies are integrated into mobile health platforms to support clinical decision-making, remote patient monitoring, and public health initiatives. Key topics include device functionality, data collection and transmission, interoperability with electronic health records (EHRs), mobile app development in healthcare, regulatory and ethical considerations, and real-world applications in chronic disease management, mental health, and population health. Through case studies and hands-on activities, students will critically evaluate current mHealth solutions and develop strategies for their effective implementation in diverse healthcare settings.

By the end of the course, students will be able to: Understand the core components and functionality of mHealth devices and platforms. Analyze the benefits and limitations of mobile health technologies. Evaluate the integration of mHealth tools into clinical workflows and health systems. Discuss legal, ethical, and privacy issues associated with mHealth data. Assess the impact of mHealth solutions on patient engagement and health outcomes.
By the end of this program, participants will be able to: Identify and describe the range of mHealth devices (e.g., wearables, sensors, mobile diagnostics) and their roles in healthcare delivery. Explain the architecture and functionality of mobile health platforms, including how they collect, store, analyze, and transmit health data. Assess the integration of mHealth technologies with electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine systems, and clinical workflows. Evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth solutions in managing chronic diseases, supporting remote patient monitoring, and improving patient engagement. Analyze legal, ethical, and regulatory issues related to the use of mHealth, including data privacy (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR), security, and informed consent. Critically examine current trends and innovations in mHealth, such as AI-powered health apps, digital therapeutics, and population health tools. Apply best practices for selecting, implementing, and managing mHealth tools in clinical or public health environments. Design or assess an mHealth solution or pilot project, taking into account user needs, clinical goals, technology requirements, and data considerations.
