Subject outline
Advances in mobile and medical technologies have led to many technological innovations in medicine and healthcare. Mobile platforms are now a pervasive technology trend that provides a new promise to deliver healthcare that is accessible, affordable and effective for value-based care. The field of telehealth has rapidly evolved into Mobile Health (mHealth) and this has put the onus and responsibility of healthcare into patients# and consumers# hands. The accelerated growth of digital technologies such as health applications or apps, fitness trackers, mobile social media, chatbots and remote monitoring devices has transformed telehealth from a novelty concept to a powerful resource that can be used as a mainstream strategy to deliver virtual care. In this subject, you will explore the evolution of tele to virtual health domains by learning the #art and science# behind tele and virtual health applications and keeping abreast with the latest developments in technologies used for tele and virtual health delivery. You will also evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these technologies and understand the need to provide evidence-based virtual care.
