Inhoud vak
The MITCH course provides students with an in-depth study of (thedevelopment of) front-line innovative technologies in community based
health care.
The course is developed by the Amsterdam health & technology institute
(Ahti). Ahti is an institute for education, research, and valorization
in the area of Urban Health and technology, using a network of global
living labs.
The current changes in health care systems and health care provision
include a central role for technology. With increasing demands on staff
and resources, technology may contribute to sustainable solutions in
health care. In this course we expose students to front-line
technologies and challenge them to reflect on the consequences new
technologies in health care have. Students will focus on technical
understanding of the developments as well as how technology can offer
cost-effective solutions to improve the healthcare system as a whole.
This topic will be approached based on specific case studies from
different perspectives, including patient / consumer, health care
provider/entrepreneur, insurer/financier, and scientist / technology
developer.
