There’s a lot of reading but I enjoyed it. It‘s Great that especially at the beginning the COVID pandemic is chosen as an example and some interventions are highlighted.
This course introduces the field of digital health and the key concepts and definitions in this emerging field. The key topics include Learning Health Systems and Electronic Health Records and various types of digital health technologies to include mobile applications, wearable technologies, health information systems, telehealth, telemedicine, machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data. These technologies are assessed in terms of the key opportunities and challenges to their use and the evidence of their effectiveness in the field of digital health in relation to public health and healthcare globally. The use and application of digital health for COVID-19 forms a case study demonstrating the use of different types of digital health technologies to address key aspects of the response to the virus globally.

Thank you, Doctors Felix, Lisa, Julia, Alpha, and Ibtehal for the wonderful course. I learned a lot from you and the course materials!

The course refers to too many old sources, like 2011, 2015. Today is 2025. Nevertheless, the information is still interesting and useful.

Very interesting course, the only thing I suggest is to update some of the readings. I believe there is now more literature to include.

This is an interesting course. I found videos and readings interesting. The completion of quizzes also keeps the motivation up.

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.
SK
Nice introductory course on digital health interventions.

I work in digital health, so maybe this course wasn't the best fit for me. I had hoped to learn more about specific digital health tools to potentially add to our program. To some extent it did that, but I could do without research papers that just confirm that something does or doesn't work. Also many of the use cases that highlight uses in 3rd world countries seem to focused on public health rather than the actual digital health technologies. My main issue is how dated some of the articles are. One was called "The State of Telehealth" and dated 2016. Even without the pandemic, telehealth has come a long way in the past five years; and that progress should be highlighted. Another was about social media, from 2013...
Very informative and I learnt a lot from this course. It is an eye-opening experience on digital health. Wish I can learn more about this.
The course was everything I was looking for - both informative and engaging with videos combined with additional reading resources. I also liked the feedbacks and numerous quizzes as you go. I received a huge amount of preliminary knowledge before starting my graded accredited course and I am very thankful for that.

This is an interesting course. I found videos and readings interesting. The completion of quizzes also keeps the motivation up.
A lot of the links to the recommended reading required a subsription or access via an institution. As far as I am aware the course did not grant such access, hence the material was not accessible.
The Introduction to Digital Health course was an insightful and well-structured learning experience. It provided a comprehensive overview of how technology is transforming healthcare, covering key topics such as electronic health records (EHR), telemedicine, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and data privacy. The course content was well-organized, with clear weekly learning objectives and engaging materials, including case studies and real-world applications. The interactive discussions and quizzes helped reinforce key concepts. One of the most valuable aspects was the practical application of digital health tools, which gave me a deeper understanding of their impact on healthcare systems. However, I would have appreciated more hands-on exercises or real-world projects. Overall, this course was a great investment of time and provided a solid foundation in digital health. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the intersection of healthcare and technology.
Thanks to Dr Alex Bottle for a very interesting, well taught- simple and thorough course. A great place to learn R and Public Health Statistics.
Excellent course - a very thorough overview of digital health, with great suggestions for extra reading.
In 2024 some of the content needs updates
Interesting topic but way too many long readings, too few videos. Really difficult to sustain attention when it's link after link of long articles.
Very focused on public health and outdated, with articles even form 2005 or not accesible.
This course was amazing and it provided me with exactly what I needed to know to introduced me to the role of digital health. I was really inspired by the content, material lectures. I really appreciated the role of digitalisation and I believe the importance of learning about it at this day and age in a world that is developing at a unprecedented pace. Me as a scientist I found this course as a start of many courses that will really help me in my professional and career development.
Kursus ini sangat relevan dan bermanfaat dalam memperluas pemahaman tentang EHR, Big Data, dan sistem kesehatan pembelajaran. Materi disusun sistematis dan aplikatif, meskipun akan lebih optimal jika ditambah studi kasus nyata dan latihan praktis. Secara keseluruhan, kursus ini mendukung pengembangan kompetensi di bidang kesehatan digital dan peningkatan mutu layanan kesehatan.
It has been a great course. In spike of my limits of English Language it took me a wonderful effort to learn as much as I did. I am very thankfull with the Imperial college of London to have given me the opprtunity to learn fro so highly professional pwople. Many thanks. I do hope to continue with the Specialization but will be by Septembef.
Would have been better if there were more interactive videos and discussions rather than reading material. Overall a very well - structured course with lots of relevant information for students new to digital health. Great course!
THANKS, AND REGARDS TO THE EXCELLENT COURSE FACULTY....LEARNT A LOT AND CLEARED A LOT OF MISCONCEPTIONS!
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 course introduces you to general knowledge on digital health , use of digital technologies for health, and implementing digital health solutions in health care .
