Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

This module focuses on digital health innovations and organizational change processes in the healthcare sector, with the aim that students can independently identify and formulate a relevant challenge within digital health. The challenge should serve as a case for the student's exploration of aspects of organizational change and implementation processes related to digital health innovations in a healthcare context. 

The students must identify and formulate a problem relevant within digital health innovations and the accompanying organizational change processes in the healthcare sector. The student must use insights, approaches and methods from the 3 modules on the 1rst semester to establish a relevant problem; initially explore the problem from different perspectives; describe the context relevant for the chosen problem; focus the problem formulation sufficiently to explore it with the chosen approach, design, and methods; and carry out the project in practice. The students must then write a project report and will have a supervisor to guide them and give feedback on content, theories, methods, and progress in writing the project report.
