Digital health technologies will play an ever-increasing role in the future of healthcare. It is crucial that the people who will help make that transformation possible have the evidence-based and hands-on training necessary to address the many challenges ahead. To better prepare the future health workforce with the knowledge necessary to support the re-engineering of healthcare in an equitable, person-centric manner, we developed an experiential learning course-Wearables in Healthcare-for advanced undergraduate and graduate university students. Here we describe the components of that course and the lessons learned to help guide others interested in developing similar courses.
数字健康技术将在未来医疗保健中发挥越来越重要的作用。至关重要的是,那些将助力实现这一转变的人员要接受基于证据的实践培训,以应对未来诸多挑战。为了让未来的卫生人力更好地掌握以公平、以人为本的方式支持医疗保健重新设计所需的知识,我们为本科高年级和研究生开发了一门体验式学习课程——医疗保健中的可穿戴设备。在此,我们描述该课程的组成部分以及所吸取的经验教训,以帮助指导其他有兴趣开发类似课程的人。
