Mobile Health for Public Health Practitioners

As future public health practitioners, your work will intersect with the digital realm very frequently, in the shoes of users of technology, but also as shapers (or builders) of tech solutions. Whether you consider yourself a technically savvy person or not, you will find yourself in the position to at least offer feedback on an mHealth solution throughout your career, recommend mHealth apps to beneficiaries, or conduct research intersecting digital health. You might also be in the position to initiate projects with mHealth components, consult tech teams in your niche of expertise, or even be an active member of a digital product development team. Whatever your position will be, a basic understanding of mHealth could help you navigate this space a lot easier. And why not, you might even discover you enjoy working at the intersection of health and digital, and open-up new career perspectives.
