TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL HEALTH
It is a great course that touches all the major aspects of digital health. It has an extensive amount of information. It also challenges your learnings through its quizes after every module.
The content was great and the videos are awesome. Great professors. I would have like a little less reading with more focused reading. It is hard to read scientific article from home.
Excellent course - a very thorough overview of digital health, with great suggestions for extra reading.
very useful! maybe needs some more interactivity to make it more engaging.
