The founder of the Digital Health Academy, Dr. Rajendra Pratap Gupta, commented on the curriculum, saying, "Those without formal training in Digital Health will meet a career roadblock in the next three to five years, therefore we developed this world-class course. This course is the result of a thorough, two-year study project with top-tier international experts in digital health.

"This course was painstakingly designed to satisfy relevant requirements using insights gathered from more than 60 influential figures across various healthcare sectors, including hospitals, pharmaceuticals, research and development, med-tech, information technology, regulatory bodies, and policy-making entities spanning regions like the USA, UK, EU, South-East Asia, and Africa. It is a remarkable synthesis of a thorough structure, enlightening material, and guidance from the world's top specialists in digital health.

A wide range of beneficial learning tools will be made available to participants, including thorough study materials covering important subjects, pre-recorded video lectures by skilled Digital Health Practitioners, and curated reading materials with reliable journals and pertinent articles.

Participants will receive certification after completing the course's minimum requirements, which include completing a satisfactory dissertation, receiving at least a 50% grade at each level (Basic, Advanced, and Professional), and participating actively in webinars with at least a 50% attendance rate. Prof. Dr. Ram Kumar Kakani, Director of the Indian Institute of Management, commented on the course in his remarks: "Our first batch of this program in conjunction with DHA has resulted in a highly relevant output as well as great testimonials. This motivates us to start the second batch, and we anticipate providing a similarly profound interaction to a fresh set.
