Content
Commercial and
public services are increasingly implemented as ‘digital services’,
which are automated services that are digitally delivered, e.g.,
via the Internet. E-health portals, media streaming, electronic tax
filing, and online banking are just a few among many digital
services that have fundamentally changed the commercial and civil
services in the past decade.
The aim of this course is to give students a theoretical frameworks and practical skills in developing innovative digital services. The course will emphasize critical services that have high potential for generating enduring societal impact. In particular, we will focus on the healthcare domain in which digital services play a critical role in service delivery and have critical impact on key performance indicators, and require security, reliability, integration, and presentation of information to both professional and private users. These indicators are of utmost importance in digital services for healthcare.
