Digital health refers to the use of digital technologies to monitor, manage, and improve health outcomes. This includes tools such as wearable/indigestible sensors, mobile health apps, telemedicine, robotics, imaging technologies, and AI-driven healthcare solutions. The goal of digital health is to transform healthcare from episodic care to continuous care, making it more accessible, efficient, and personalized. By leveraging technology, digital health aims to provide equitable healthcare, enhance patient engagement, improve disease management, and support preventive care.
The course structure would include 6 courses totaling at least 18 credit hours. The program is structured to include two sets of digital health core courses (Introductory Core in Devices or AI, Capstone Core in Devices or AI), and three electives: one in digital health sciences and two in digital health technology, as well as one humanities/social sciences elective focused on ethics or human factors. The minor is suitable for students in electrical and computer engineering, statistics, bioengineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. Introductory courses in each department will provide foundational knowledge for the minor, and could also be suitable for all students.
