Participants will discuss how digital health interventions can help push the triple aim of Universal Health Coverage and Sustainable Goal Development for more people at a lower cost in different settings in high-, low- and middle-income countries. The program discusses what kind of analysis is needed for developing digital health interventions, which stakeholders should be involved and cross-cutting issues to be considered when implementing DHI in low resources settings.

The first week can be followed as a stand-alone course, for which we offer an attendance certificate. This course is organised jointly with Amsterdam Health and Technology Institute (AHTI) and in cooperation with a number of other partners: Pharmaccess, Joep Lange Institute, Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD) and Smarthealth Amsterdam CONTENT The contents of the course are: Defining digital health, principles and classification Opportunities and limitations for digital health in LMICs Surveying demand and feasibility of digital health solutions Guidance on implementation of digital health interventions OBJECTIVES WEEK 1: AT THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO: Explain principles and concepts of digital health, including the effect of digital health on health behaviour and on health systems. Discuss digital health interventions as means to address health challenges in different settings. Discuss opportunities and limitations that digital health interventions bring while providing Universal Health Coverage in high, low and middle-income countries. Recognize and address ethics and data governance issues related to digital health. WEEK 2: AT THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK, PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO: Develop strategic problem-solving strategies using digital health to address challenges in the health sector. Combine technical, analytical and networking skills for developing and embedding digital health interventions in a systemic approach. Develop and evaluate potential digital tools and strategies in different settings (acknowledging their characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, and performance while implemented). LEARNING METHODS The course is designed in an innovative model – similar to hackathons and data sprints, often the standard approach to develop technical skills. In the “sprint” methodology, while learning basic concepts, the participant can also acquire and develop applied skills developing projects to address real health problems. We encourage device and corpus literacy, allocating considerable time to course preparation, live tutorials, practical labs and interaction with partners, facilitators and keynote lectures. We planned different activities to train theoretical knowledge on digital health and have an overview of practical skills needed to conceive, develop, implement, and evaluate digital health interventions. Using the Active Learning Perspective, the main characteristic of this course is the “hands-on” strategy, allowing the participant to apply during the course the knowledge they are acquiring in real-time. The workshop nature of the second week is an opportunity to work in challenging real-scenario cases. WEEK 1 (ONLINE) The first week aims to get the participant acquainted to the basic principles of digital health and possible fields of application Online (synchronous, twice a day) keynotes focusing on key concepts of the course; Online (synchronous twice a day) practical sessions (tutorials) aimed at introducing specific fields of DH or techniques; Access to our online education environment – Virtual grounds – for asynchronous activities and course materials and resources. Week 2 (face to face in Amsterdam) The second week include a strong focus on applying the knowledge and skills acquired during week 1. Labs and guided work: moments where students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned trying to solve a practical problem of the field with a DHI. Diverse labs will be offered during the week, to challenge your strategic thinking in different themes/fields. Work sessions: participants work in groups developing a digital health intervention proposal to address a real-life problem. A presentation is given at the end of the second week with the outline of the project proposal. A written proposal is submitted for examination on Friday afternoon, after considering feedbacks received on the presentation. Assessment Participants who wish to be examined and/or obtain the credits are required to take the course assignments as follows: Week one: Open-book exam with a combination of multiple-choice and essay-type questions. Week two: Group assignment focusing on the development of a Digital Health Intervention (project). The examination is divided into two parts. First, the group delivers a presentation at the end of the second week, added by a written outline of their digital health intervention project. Read more… LEARNING METHODS This course was originally offered as a blended model, week 1 online and week 2 in Amsterdam. The facilitation of the learning experience in the first week will be conducted exclusively via a Moodle-based virtual learning environment (virtualgrounds.kit.nl), which will contain all learning materials. Interaction between learners and the lecturer will be through KIT Virtual Grounds and other tools, such as Zoom. In the Moodle environment, we will provide preparation materials in advance for self-directed learning. For the second week, participants will gather at KIT building and will have a designated working space for the group and venues for Lab activities designated in advance. During the course, considering the hands-on strategy, we planned the following activities: Keynotes = lectures on key concepts of the course. Meet & Greet = social dynamics where everyone gets to know each other in a fun way to establish rapport and social network. Tutorials = practical sessions introducing the participant to a specific technique to apply in their projects. Q&A = on the first day, participants will have questions, so this is a moment for a general plenary of comments, questions, clarifications and suggestions. Labs = moments when participants have the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained from keynote and tutorials to work on a practical problem, sharpening strategic thinking for applying DH solutions. The idea is to design a digital health intervention to a real problem. Project Pitch = for those attending the second week, we will work on an actual project for the whole week. Project leaders (our personnel) will pitch some projects they want to work on, and participants will choose which team they will join. We expect the proposed projects to be real-life cases KIT and partners are working on and that we have at least 4 participants interested in each project pitched to form a few teams. Project Live formation = we organise an electronic voting process and give real-time results about who is joining each project pitched. Work Sessions = time of teamwork (participants + project leader) to develop the DHI in the second week. Final Presentation = plenary moment when each group presents the project DHI planned to the others and delivers a written proposal according to a previously agreed template. With this variety of activities, we expect to cover critical skills so that our participants can spot opportunities to develop and apply digital health in their daily routine, being also able to work it out responsibly and ethically. Having this experience in our course, we hope our students can be multiplicators in their countries, advocating for the adoption of DHI to strengthen their health systems and enhance the quality of delivered healthcare. APPLICATION We developed the “Global Perspectives on Digital Health”, aiming for mid-career and senior health professionals interested in updating their competencies in the field of digital health. We also aim for professionals who want to include digital health components in the programmes/projects they manage at different healthcare levels (in MoH, NGOs, etc.).
