Software Development for Digital Health
Course content
The course provides an introduction to the elementary elements in the development of IT systems in the healthcare system. The course focuses on system development and software engineering techniques: requirements specification, basic UML diagrams and system development methods.
As software integrates with information systems, the student will acquire skills in modelling and manipulation of data in relational databases. Finally, the course will equip the student with skills in data communication via information exchange.
