Learner goals and capabilities

We are excited to announce that our second group of Digital Health Graduate Certificate students at Mohawk College are seeking potential projects for their Capstone course starting in the fall (September 2022)!

The Capstone projects will be completed in groups of 2 to 4 students over two semesters starting in the fall semester (September 2022) and concluding at the end of the winter semester (April 2023). The fall course will focus on students choosing a project, collecting requirements, formulating a design, doing some project planning and building a very rudimentary prototype system. During the winter semester, students will complete the implementation, test and deploy their final projects.

Please note that I will be on vacation during the months of May and June with intermittent access to Riipen so I may be delayed in replying to project requests.

Project Examples

We are expecting students from a wide variety of academic backgrounds (health, business, technology, etc.) so interdisciplinary projects would probably be best. Specifically, projects in the Systems Analysis, Business Processes, Data Analysis, policies and procedures, training and logistics areas of digital health are likely to be good candidates. To help determine project suitability and/or to find out more about this program, please refer to our Program Page and/our Program of Studies page. Also, please feel free to reach out to me directly for more information.

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Meet weekly or biweekly with students to help guide them

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.

Complete a Client Project Document to describe the project for student consideration.
