Additional information

The course includes input lectures, remote preparation, blended learning, a visit at a clinical Innovation Lab and a technology fair. Participants identify the appropriate technology for their individual clinical research question and go through the necessary steps for technology integration. Experts in the field discuss case studies and provide examples to illustrate challenges and solutions for integrating sensor technology in clinical trials. A hands-on workshop helps understand associated usability, data privacy, and technological barriers.

We recommend to reserve around 40 hours in total for blended learning.
