11.2.1. Interactive identification of healthcare services apps and different types

Duration: 1 hour

This is a practical training session outside the face-to-face session that will involve the learners actively. They will have the opportunity to navigate online to different healthcare services apps. More specifically:

  • The trainer asks the learners to read a ppt with examples of healthcare services apps.
  • The trainer asks the learners to browse the internet in order to find different healthcare services apps.
  • They can do that on their mobiles.
  • The learners are asked to navigate through app interfaces, exploring core features and settings.
  • The trainer asks the learners to collect a certain amount of healthcare services apps (around 1-3 apps to get a variety) that they know in the country of arrival.
  • The learners can do this exercise alone or can be grouped with 2-3 persons.
  • The identification can be done online in a pre-defined template.
  • The learners will be asked to sort and assess the identified apps according to their providers: public or private.
  • They will be asked to group the apps according to target groups (e.g. “Children”, “Elderly”, “Women”, “Dealing with Pain”, “Mental Problems”, “certain diseases”)
  • The learners will be asked for reflection: What does the variety of identified health services apps reflect in terms of the needs and interests of the targeted groups?
