GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON DIGITAL HEALTH (GPDH)
This two-week course offers an introduction and overview of digital health,
including a strong emphasis on how in reality, digital health functions in
various settings. 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.

Telemedicine
This course is TropEd accreditated and can be followed as a stand-alone course
or as an advanced module of the Master in International Health. 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.

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.). Finally, we also expect applications
from young professionals interested in adding digital health to their
portfolios. We are also betting on intergenerational learning, considering the
participants’ broad range of ages and backgrounds.
