The health care industry is evolving—its scope of change and transformation, driven by digital innovations and AI, at an unprecedented pace. SmartApps, web platforms, wearables, and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions have generated evidence in bridging service delivery gaps, enabling remote patient monitoring, and promoting wellness. There is growing evidence that these technologies can expand access to underserved populations and to improve documentation of health-related and improve overall engagement in healthcare. Machine learning has improved prediction, and HIPAA and blockchain technologies have improved security. Large language models are demonstrating potential to expedite research and improve the efficiency of health service delivery. 3D modeling and 3D printing have generated a blueprint for changes in drugs, devices, prosthetics, and hearing aids. High-value care (convenient, targeted, personalized, efficient, and cost-efficient) is now available for the billions with access to the internet. With these exciting innovations converging alongside advancements in other industries, one question remains: Is it enough?
This course will cover topics in digital health and machine learning as they relate to connected Internet-of-things solutions, machine learning solutions, predictive analytics, meta-verse, digital twins, connected diagnostics, and challenges/successes faced in the integration of digital health solutions. Participants will learn evidence generation with these solutions and industry perspectives on how these solutions are poised to create a massive disruption in healthcare delivery in the years to come.
Content will cover a wide variety of topics from population health/preventative medicine to clinical medicine/virtual health and telemedicine. We will also showcase clinical decision support systems with algorithms to Metaverse based immersive experience. Students will learn about the novel innovations, evaluations, and implementation evidence, and discuss challenges & barriers to scale-up, and sustainability.
The course format includes a mix of plenary talks, engaging panel discussions, and showcases innovative products and services from innovators, industry, academics, data analysts, and health care organizations.
