To enhance the digital competencies of pharmacy students, the Institute of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacotherapy at Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf developed and evaluated a theoretical module on digital health and data analysis. This innovative module integrated a continuous glucose-monitoring (CGM) wearable device into teaching, providing students with in-depth practical experience and a 2.5 h seminar on digital health and CGM systems. Students' knowledge of CGM and self-assessment of their CGM competencies were assessed in a pre-post manner. Additionally, students' satisfaction with the module and their perceptions of the future integration of digital health training and the role of wearables in pharmacy practice were also assessed after the module. A total of 39 final-year pharmacy students completed the module conducted in June 2024 as part of the clinical pharmacy seminar. In total, 32 students completed the pre- and post-knowledge tests and self-assessment questionnaires. Both the knowledge and the students' self-assessment of CGM-related skills after the module increased significantly ( < 0.05). Students expanded their knowledge regarding digital health solutions, in particular the CGM systems, and increased their self-reported competence in CGM-related skills. With this module, an important foundation was laid, as this is the first theoretical module including the essentials of CGM digital health tools for pharmacy students in Germany.
为提高药学专业学生的数字能力，杜塞尔多夫海因里希-海涅大学临床药学与药物治疗研究所开发并评估了一个关于数字健康和数据分析的理论模块。这个创新模块将连续血糖监测（CGM）可穿戴设备融入教学中，为学生提供深入的实践经验，并举办了一场关于数字健康和CGM系统的2.5小时研讨会。通过前后测试的方式评估学生对CGM的知识以及他们对自身CGM能力的自我评估。此外，在模块结束后，还评估了学生对该模块的满意度以及他们对数字健康培训未来整合的看法和可穿戴设备在药学实践中的作用。共有39名药学专业大四学生完成了作为临床药学研讨会一部分于2024年6月举办的该模块。总共有32名学生完成了前后知识测试和自我评估问卷。模块结束后，学生对CGM相关知识以及自我评估的CGM相关技能均有显著提高（<0.05）。学生扩展了关于数字健康解决方案的知识，特别是CGM系统，并提高了他们自我报告的CGM相关技能的能力。通过这个模块，奠定了一个重要基础，因为这是德国首个为药学专业学生纳入CGM数字健康工具要点的理论模块。
