Visualization of Medical Wearable-Data Using SMART-on-FHIR – A Concept for an Interdisciplinary Complex Practical Course

Abstract

For the success of digital applications, especially AI applications, it is essential that both developers and medical professionals are enabled to understand each other’s perspective. For this reason, a new concept for an interdisciplinary complex practical course was developed for the master’s program in computer science at a German university, based on online learning nuggets and a hackathon on site. The core of the concept is a real-world medical application task: extracting ECG patient data from a smartwatch to support primary care physicians in making decisions regarding an action. The concept was developed based on the so-called constructive alignment concept. An initial application of the concept showed that it was rated as very positive in terms of learning experience and working atmosphere.
