Through richly illustrated presentations, relevant theory, and hands on exercises, participants gain insight and experience with the foundations of design in the context of digital health, as well as understanding and practicing effective team interaction and communication.

Participants will be supported in exploring, developing and communicating a professional vision of their contribution to the field of Digital Health.
