Background

The German digital health applications (“Digitale Gesundheitsanwendung”, DiGA) provides ground for the rapid time-to-market of health and medical apps. This seminar starts with an international overview on digital health app regulations and introduction to the German DiGA. Key topics include application qualification and data privacy management. Subsequently, practical aspects of digital health app design are discussed and trained in cross-platform implementations. Applications will be implemented by the participants e.g. COVID-19 contact tracing, sleep monitoring, daily routine analysis.

Aim

Realise health/medical smartphone apps, including sensor data acquisition and data analysis, apply algorithms to extract digital biomarkers.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand regulations concerning digital health apps.
  • Apply aspects of medical app qualification, primarily usability and privacy management.
  • Create health/medical apps that extract digital biomarkers from smartphone sensor data.
  • Apply cross-platform development.
