The course introduces the concept of digital biomarkers. More specifically, the course will cover fundamental topics such as designing observational studies, collecting and exploring data generated by consumer-centric devices, and applying analytical methods to predict health-related outcomes.

The course gives an introduction to digital biomarkers and provides students with the foundations to develop their own digital biomarkers. More specifically, the course will cover fundamental topics such as designing observational studies, collecting, and exploring data generated by consumer-centric devices, and applying analytical methods to predict health-related outcomes.

Today, we face the challenge of chronic conditions. Personal coaching approaches are neither scalable nor financially sustainable. The question arises, therefore, to which degree Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) are appropriate to address this challenge. In this lecture, students will learn about the need for, as well as the design, implementation, and assessment of DHIs.
