Technology Enabled Care

With an ever-expanding availability of health technology, clinicians are facing increasing pressure to understand how technology can assist in delivering tailored, effective service delivery and implement it in their practice. This pressure, combined with rapid growth in the healthcare sector, has resulted in a growing skills gap in technology-enabled patient care in Australia.

Our Technology Enabled Care course looks to address some of these issues by covering the key skills and knowledge required to assess and implement consumer health technologies such as digital apps, games, and wearable biosensors to improve health outcomes. You’ll gain experience applying the latest evidence-based technology in your day-to-day practice and get access to the latest research to support patient care and coaching.

Our Technology Enabled Care course is ideal for: 
• Junior or mid-career healthcare professionals including frontline nurses, psychologists, and other allied health professionals looking to upskill and incorporate individual digital health technologies in clinical practice. Ideal students will also want to stay ahead of industry best practices in consumer-centred care
• General practitioners (GPs) looking to stay ahead of the curve in assessing and incorporating preventative and therapeutic health technologies into their practice

By the end of this course, you’ll know how to:

• Evaluate, apply contemporary and relevant industry frameworks, the risks, barriers and success factors to adoption of current consumer and patient technologies
• Critically analyse approaches to efficacious, patient-centric, technology-enabled health and wellbeing
• Recommend digitally enabled approaches to patient care that support patient outcomes and wellbeing

Equip yourself with the knowledge to select efficacious consumer health technologies such as apps and wearables to integrate these safely into health coaching and patient care plans. 

By the end of this course, you'll have produced one project: a technology-enabled patient care or coaching guide for practitioners for your chosen care setting.
