ABOUT TECHCHANGE AND THE DIGITAL HEALTH: PLANNING NATIONAL SYSTEMS COURSE
Want to be part of a growing company that is using technology, pedagogy, and design to bring about positive social change? Founded in 2010, TechChange is a social enterprise that works with leading nonprofits and government agencies around the world to push the boundaries of what’s possible in virtual learning and online events. From delivering COVID response courses for frontline health workers, to powering the largest human rights and tech conference in the world (RightsCon), TechChange contributes to some of the most innovative and important (virtual) conversations of our era.
With the support of digital health subject matter experts, TechChange developed an online course called Digital Health: Planning National Systems based on digital health materials from and validated by the World Health Organization. The course is designed to empower ministry leadership with the technical concepts and planning tools necessary to steer and orient national digital health stakeholders towards an enterprise planning approach when planning digital health interventions in their countries. It is a highly engaging course anchored in a case study and a series of group activities that culminate in a participant presentation, which has been delivered to over 300 ministry officials all over the world.
