HINF 616 Consumer Health Informatics & Technologies
Consumer health informatics (CHI) is rapidly expanding and aims to give individual health care consumers, their families, and communities the information and tools that they need to become more engaged in their health and health care. In this course, students become familiar with a range of CHI applications, including the needs/problems that the applications address, their theoretical bases, their technical architectures, and relevant evaluation results. Students acquire an ability to evaluate existing applications intended to help individuals adopt and maintain health-protective behaviors and to generate theory-informed design and implementation strategies for CHI applications.
