In this week, you will learn about real world case studies to improve real-time data collection and monitoring for Ebola building and the use of process evaluation to evaluate this intervention. You will then hear about interesting ways that data can be routinely used in healthcare with examples from the UK National Health Service.

This module focuses on methods for evaluating digital health interventions and you will focus on experimental and quasi-experimental evaluation approaches that can be applied to evaluating digital health interventions. You will then be introduced to real-world examples of some of these approaches and key considerations for randomised control trials. You will then focus on a specific example of methodological concerns of an evaluation of a digital medicine system, the limitations of this study and the NICE Evidence Framework.

In this week, you will learn about frameworks and models for evaluation, what robust trials are and examples of these, logic models and how to design a statistical analysis plan.
