Cheers, Nick *** *TC309: mHealth - Mobile Phones for Public Healthhttp://techchange.org/online-courses/mhealth-mobile-phones-for-public-health/ <http://techchange.org/online-courses/mhealth-mobile-phones-for-public-health/>March 28th-April 22nd 2016* *Course Description* In 2016, the number of global mobile subscriptions will reach 8.5 billion — more than the number of people on this earth, and it took a little more than 20 years for that to happen. Yet at the same time, health systems around the world are struggling to: - Provide access to affordable healthcare for all - Treat infectious diseases such as Ebola, HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis - Address crippling maternal and child mortality rates in low-income countries - Manage non-communicable diseases like heart disease, cancer, and Diabetes - Tackle infrastructure and supply chain challenges in remote settings - Train frontline health workers to provide care to vulnerable populations Increasingly, Ministries of Health, companies, NGOs, and various bilateral and multilateral donors are looking to mobile phones as part of a solution for responding to these challenges. This four-week, online certificate course will focus on building mHealth skills that revolutionize approaches to patient care and management, point-of-care support, health education, remote monitoring, diagnostics, supply chain management & logistics and more. A growing number of mHealth projects have been implemented across the world from Guatemala to Uganda, from India to Argentina – we will explore what has worked and what could be improved with each example, and invite participants to share their own experiences in managing ongoing projects. *Apply Now:* *https://www.techchange.org/online-courses/mhealth-mobile-phones-for-public-health/ <https://www.techchange.org/online-courses/mhealth-mobile-phones-for-public-health/>* *Course Topics and Featured Tech* Week 1: Introduction to Mobile Phones for Public Health Week 2: Strengthening Health Systems Week 3: Citizen-Centered Health Week 4: The Future of mHealth *Course Objectives* At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to: - critically analyze both the opportunities and the pitfalls that emerge when working with mobile technology to improve public health outcomes - connect relevant development theories to the technological strategies and tools discussed in the course - manage specific mHealth software platforms and tools - design dynamic and effective strategies for using tools and platforms to improve mHealth efforts - become more confident using mobile technology to address public health challenges *Course Methodology* - This course is delivered entirely online over a period of four weeks. - This course features several live interactive guest expert sessions each week with leading practitioners, software developers, academics, and donors. - Every live event is recorded and archived for you to watch later. - This course also features a unique hands-on learning environment with animated videos, technology demos, practical activities, networking events, office hours, participant presentations, immersive simulations, and more. - TechChange recommends budgeting a minimum commitment of 5-7 hours per week and scheduling time for the course around your existing obligations. - Participants will have access to all course content for at least 4 months after course completion so the material can be completed and revisited later. *Course Price* - $295 if you use the discount code: "liberation" - $495 if application and payment is submitted by course start date - Group discount rates available.
