Nice introductory course on digital health interventions.
There’s a lot of reading but I enjoyed it. It‘s Great that especially at the beginning the COVID pandemic is chosen as an example and some interventions are highlighted.
This is an interesting course. I found videos and readings interesting. The completion of quizzes also keeps the motivation up.
The content was great and the videos are awesome. Great professors. I would have like a little less reading with more focused reading. It is hard to read scientific article from home.
