| Summary of Module |
|---|
This Module builds an advanced online interdisciplinary training program about eHealth sector for Higher Education Institutions involving academia, public health administration, SMEs, startups and entrepreneurs, and health business consultants. The variety of profiles of ATHIKA partners provides a complete perspective of the sector and enables the identification of urgent challenges in the health sector.
These entities will guide and coach students during the program and afterwards in a competition in which the students from different HEIs will collaborate in the development of novel technical and ethically-compliant solutions.
Within this course, students will work together in interdisciplinary teams with the main objective of solving a real eHealth challenge from a 360 degrees perspective. Being each university a specialist of their discipline (URL – Internet of Things, UWS – Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and UT – Governance & Ethics), the composition of the course is interdisciplinary itself.
This module embeds the key “I am UWS” graduate attributes and in particular: Academic Universal Analytical Work Ready Knowledgeable Digitally Literate Successful Autonomous Incisive Personal Work Ready Effective communicator Motivated Successful Creative Imaginative Professional Universal Socially responsible Work Ready Ambitious Successful Driven Transformational
- In this first common part, they will learn how to define and address scenarios and challenges following the Framework developed by the ATHIKA project.
- In the second unit, they are going to learn about the fundamentals on IoT, AI & ML and Governance & Ethics with the objective of seeing the big picture of the eHealth sector challenges.
- In the third unit, they have to choose which itinerary they are going to study. The objective is to study deeply their discipline and apply it during the closure workshop.
