Introduction

The digital era needs digital solutions. Digital solutions can prevent and manage healthcare issues faster and more effectively both at the personal and societal levels. E-health innovations are proven to promote health and behaviour change in various health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, etc. However, developing effective technological solutions for behaviour change requires an interdisciplinary approach. While competence in designing and selecting effective technologies is essential, that is still incomplete without an understanding of evidence-based behavioural change theories and techniques.

The course consists of a series of short theory lessons that provide the required background on knowledge of behaviour change and the specific methods that can be applied using technological solutions.

In accompaniment to these lessons, several interaction design workshops will be conducted where the students will apply the new knowledge to the health problem domain. In the workshops, students will work in groups by using various UX tools, design-thinking methods, and a user-centred design approach.

The course will be finished with a session where all design teams will show the prototypes of their digital services.
