Introduction
The course emphasizes subject-specific digital competence for health education. Society, health services, and education are undergoing extensive digital transformation, which demands individual competence and impacts service organization. For technology to contribute to effective and cohesive health services, current and future healthcare personnel must engage with and utilize digital tools and media safely, critically, and creatively. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, challenge traditional methods of performing tasks and organizing services, thus closely linked to service innovation.
