Develop the knowledge and practical skills to recommend, apply, and coach patients on e-health technologies to deliver optimal health outcomes.

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.
