General notes

  • Module 15: Capstone Project—Developing a Digital Health and AI Implementation Roadmap Healthcare organisation problem assessment, digital maturity and readiness review, identification and prioritisation of AI use cases, selection of suitable digital health solutions, stakeholder and workflow analysis, development of a business case, data governance and cybersecurity assessment, implementation timeline and resource planning, risk register and mitigation measures, selection of monitoring indicators, preparation of a digital transformation roadmap, presentation of the proposed solution.
  • Recommended Software and Tools: Electronic Health Records (EHR) platforms, Hospital Information Systems (HIS), DHIS2, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Power BI, Python, SQL, Microsoft PowerPoint, telemedicine platforms, digital patient engagement systems, healthcare workflow automation tools, enterprise AI assistants, healthcare analytics platforms, approved clinical decision support systems, health information exchange platforms, project management software, cybersecurity and data governance tools.
  • Tool selection will depend on the institution's available systems, training environment and participants' roles. Clinical AI applications should be demonstrated using approved tools and suitable sample or de-identified data; public AI tools should not receive identifiable patient information without appropriate authorisation and safeguards.
  • Training Methodology: The workshop combines instructor-led presentations, practical software demonstrations, guided exercises, healthcare case studies, group discussions, digital health implementation scenarios and a capstone project. Participants will examine how healthcare organisations can move from isolated digital tools towards integrated, data-driven systems. Practical activities will focus on identifying real operational problems, selecting appropriate technologies, evaluating AI use cases, improving workflows, assessing risks and developing implementation plans. The workshop is designed for both technical and non-technical professionals. It emphasises practical application and strategic decision-making rather than requiring participants to become software developers or AI engineers.
