\"PhD<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Dates<\/strong>: August 10-12, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venue<\/strong>: Aalborg University Copenhagen
A. C. Meyers V\u00e6nge 15, 2450 Copenhagen, Denmark (DK)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the PhD course is to introduce research methods in transforming healthcare through digital innovation from design, implementation and to evaluation. The focus is on digital technologies such as wearables, video, social robotics, digital platforms, applications (apps), clinical decision systems, and technologies within artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Analyze clinical needs and translate them into digital health solutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Apply user-centered and participatory design principles in the development of digital health technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Develop a structured concept proposal for a digital health intervention or program<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Explain and understand key theories and frameworks in implementation science<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Critically assess methodological strengths and limitations in implementation research<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Identify relevant outcome domains when evaluating digital health technologies (clinical, organizational, economic, social, ethical)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Apply complex and multidisciplinary evaluation frameworks (e.g., Health Technology Assessment principles).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. To get an international network<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    All days include lectures, problem based and interactive teaching and social activities. Students will have to write three pages report on a problem related to own Ph.D. study and give a presentation on the course where peer PhD students as well as faculty at the course will give feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An important part of the course is that you have the possibility to expand you professional network and get to know new international colleagues. There will be social activities planned in the city of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The course is organized in collaboration between an international and interdisciplinary group of researchers within digital health from Aarhus University, Odense University Hospital, UC Berkeley, UC Davis and Aalborg University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
