As the field of mobile health (mHealth) has expanded globally, there’s been growing demand from academic institutions to gain hands-on experience designing and deploying mHealth tools.

Dimagi has developed an online course for academic practitioners that combines CommCare Fundamentals and Application Building. This course equips participants to build customized mHealth applications using their software platform that enables anyone to design and launch customized mobile applications for Android devices. Used in 60+ countries, CommCare is one of the most widely-deployed and evidence-based mHealth tools.

Course participants will gain the hands-on skills to build customized mobile applications – including:

  • data collection;
  • field research;
  • monitoring & evaluation;
  • patient management;

The self-paced course typically takes 8 hours of online time, combined with three, live interactive sessions and the opportunity to join us on the BUSPH campus for a half-day in-person session with an instructor.  Successful completion of this course on Application Building will give you the fundamentals of application building as well as the opportunity to earn a valuable digital technology credential, CommCare Application Building Certification.
