HLSC 7014G - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Health Data and Technology
The course aims to provide a framework for evaluating data and related technology in health sciences research, training and practice. It provides students with the opportunity to extend their knowledge, skill and understanding within an interdisciplinary context. The course aims to develop post-graduate expertise to evaluate different types of technology and how they are utilized to collect and analyze the diverse types of data used in health. Technological advances have infiltrated the cultural behaviours with current advances impacting human functioning and behaviour in a variety of ways. Additionally, technology is utilized in both health care provision and documentation, and the impact and effectiveness are continually being evaluated. The ethical, social and policy implications of technology including how it is used in health care data collection, analysis and storage will be critically evaluated and discussed, in an interdisciplinary context. Data and technology are understood in broad terms, and discussions will center around a diverse range of issues, policies and populations that health scientists may work with.
This course has multiple delivery modes. Please consult MyOntarioTech for details.
