Through this exploration, students will be exposed to the various developing subdomains such as concepts of Big Data for Medicine, AgeTech, FemTech, EMR, and blockchain applications. Through this module, students will acquire a clear understanding of the development of digital IP, the development cycle abyss, and areas of active innovation within each area. These topics will be presented in a way that the learner would be able to critique future products and assess properly what stage they are at, and what methods would be needed to move this idea over the abyss to a function product.
