Digital Health für Einsteiger (openHPI)

Digital Health für Einsteiger (openHPI)

Die Digitalisierung der Medizin ist dabei, die Gesundheitsversorgung grundlegend zu verändern. „Digital Health“ heißt das Stichwort: Mit dem Einsatz digitaler Technologien sollen Gesundheit, Pflege, Leben und Gesellschaft verbessert sowie die Qualität und Effizienz der Versorgung verbessert werden. In diesem zweiwöchigen openHPI-Kurs lernen Sie die Grundbegriffe von Digital Health kennen. Warum ist Digital Health wichtig für Ihre persönliche Gesundheit? Warum ist die Digitalisierung ein Motor für Innovationen in der Medizin? Diese Fragen werden die drei Professoren Erwin Böttinger, Bert Arnrich und Christoph Lippert vom HPI Digital Health Center beantworten und Sie in Chancen und Risiken der digital unterstützten Gesundheit einführen.

Die Digitalisierung hat längst Einzug gehalten in nahezu alle Lebensbereiche. Die Unterstützung und Förderung der Gesundheit durch digitale Mittel gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung. Das HPI Digital Health Center arbeitet daran, dieses Versprechen Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen. Als Innovationsmotor will das HPI die Art und Weise, wie Menschen über ihre persönliche Gesundheit und ihre Gesundheitssysteme denken, revolutionieren.
Der zweiwöchige Kurs gibt einen aktuellen Überblick in die Thematik Digital Health. Er liefert Grundlagen, praktische Übungen und weiterführende Exkurse in den Themenbereichen unserer Forschung. Betrieben wird sie sowohl am HPI-Digital Health Center in Potsdam als auch im 2019 gegründeten Hasso-Plattner-Institut für digitale Gesundheit am Mount Sinai (HPI-MS) in New York. Wir erörtern in dem Kurs außerdem ethische und rechtliche Aspekte, die im Umgang mit Gesundheit und Patientendaten außerordentlich wichtig sind. Die Teilnehmer erhalten Einblick in die Herausforderungen und spannenden Trends der Bereiche künstliche Intelligenz, Sensor-Technologien und Präzisionsmedizin.
Ziel des Kurses ist es, einen breiten Überblick über die Aspekte des Themas Digital Health zu geben. Außerdem will das Kurs-Team Verständnis für Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Optimierungsansätze schaffen, welche die Gesundheit jedes Einzelnen sowie das gesamte Gesundheitswesen betreffen.
Arbeitsaufwand
Für das Durcharbeiten von Lehr-Videos, Selbsttests, Hausaufgaben und Prüfungen sowie für die Diskussion des Stoffs im Kursforum mit den anderen Lernenden und dem Kursleiter-Team sollten die Teilnehmenden von einem Zeitaufwand von 3 bis 6 Stunden pro Woche ausgehen.
Zielgruppe
Dieser Onlinekurs richtet sich an alle ‚lebenslang Lernenden‘, die mehr über die Digitalisierung des Gesundheitswesens und die sich daraus ergebenden Möglichkeiten erfahren möchten. Er ist als Einsteigerkurs gedacht. Technisches Hintergrundwissen ist für die Teilnahme nicht erforderlich.
