description Digital health technologies will play an ever-increasing role in the future of healthcare. It is crucial that the people who will help make that transformation possible have the evidence-based and hands-on training necessary to address the many challenges ahead. To better prepare the future health workforce with the knowledge necessary to support the re-engineering of healthcare in an equitable, person-centric manner, we developed an experiential learning course—Wearables in Healthcare—for advanced undergraduate and graduate university students. Here we describe the components of that course and the lessons learned to help guide others interested in developing similar courses.
