Most governmental and healthcare institutions simultaneously emphasize the goals of maximizing individual health and maximizing health across sub-populations within the society. Modern health care systems rely on the design and deployment of health care technologies to maximize health, but the role of technology in promoting health equity is mixed. An individual's access to health technologies - and consequently to top-quality healthcare - is often compromised by geography, economics, and a variety of social factors. This course aims to provide students with the tools and skillsets to perform an assessment of the societal impacts of health technologies, with an emphasis on health equity, and to consider strategies that would enable health care technologies to more effectively promote health across the full array of sub-populations within our society. Students may not receive credit for both (叠惭贰骋听47003) and (叠惭贰骋听57003). Prerequisite: Graduate standing or instructor consent. (Typically offered: Spring)
