Overview

Are you Ready for the Future of Healthcare?

Globally, healthcare costs and demand show no signs of abating with aging and rising prevalence of chronic diseases. Digital health innovations are eagerly looked upon as the panacea to affordable, accessible, high-quality healthcare. While digital health innovations may empower individuals to “self-help” or be autonomous in their own care, the notion of holistic healthcare and the quest for optimal health and wellness require that care stays within the community, which in turn requires the support of a robust ecosystem.

This groundbreaking, interdisciplinary digital health course programme aims to examine the effects that technology, data analytics, law and insurance have on the future of healthcare, the risks involved and the role of healthcare leadership in a digital era.

This Graduate Certificate in Digital Health comprises the following modules:
