Course Description

This course will use real examples to introduce the research methodology on digital health devices from R&D, regulation, to clinical application.

Each week, one student will present designated article in the second hour of the class.
About final proposal presentation:
I will ask the students to write a proposal according to research methodologies they learn from this class. The topics may involve in but are not limited to the evaluation of digital health devices or various applications in health informatics. The proposal should be formatted in a way that might lead to their future thesis. Sections include background, literature review, methods, and expected results. The students will be asked to present the proposal to the teachers and the class at the end of the semester.
