Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

Digital Services and Innovation in Healthcare is a capstone course that aims to integrate the specialization courses and to provide students with theoretical frameworks and practical skills in applying designerly work for healthcare innovation processes. 

 

Subsequently, the course is focused on the processes of anthropological and user-centered digital innovation from idea generation to prototyping and empirical evaluations. Building on the relationship between theories and work practices from design and information systems research, the course provides tools for understanding users and situated work in a broad healthcare context. The course supports the application of design methods for the articulation and evaluation of innovative digital tools and services.
Description of the teaching methods
Group work and class seminars.
Feedback during the teaching period
Feedback will be given continuously on- and offline. The students will be asked to present problem statements after a search period, and must give short presentations of work and progress in order to receive relevant and timely feedback.
