Level 1 - Discovery

Why I created this

Digital health is often introduced in fragments, leaving many without the grounding to make sense of it.This is not a failure of individuals but a reflection of a field shaped by clinical, technical, and operational lenses that rarely converged.When foundations fragment, misunderstanding and frustration follow. Many assume the problem is them. It isn’t.This programme resets that foundation.

What this programme is trying to do

The Digital-in-Health Innovator (Level 1) - Discovery aims to:🍎Give every role (clinical or non-clinical) the clarity they should have had from the start🍎Explain why digital tools (including AI) feel the way they do🍎Show that the logic behind “annoying” systems is understandable🍎Build shared language and confidence around digital healthThis is not a technical course. It’s a clarity course.

Who this is for

🍎Anyone working in hospitals, clinics, community care or social services🍎People supporting care: admin, operations, IT, scheduling, finance🍎Team members who keep healthcare moving behind the scenes🍎Anyone who wants digital tools to feel less confusingNo technical background required.
No prior digital health training needed.

How it works

🍎5 daily lessons delivered by email🍎Each lesson takes around 5 - 7 minutes to go through🍎Story-based explanations drawn from real work settings🍎No jargon, no pressure, no technical pre-requisites🍎Emails stop automatically after the programme ends.

Curriculum for Level 1: Discovery

The 5-day structure

Each lesson explains one common misconception about digital health, using familiar stories from real-world settings.

Day 1 - Digital ≠ Transformation

🍎Technology is only one part of change. Real transformation happens when people, workflows and policies shift.🍎We unpack why projects that “go live” don’t always deliver change, and why that’s not the fault of staff on the ground.

Day 2 - Data ≠ Understanding

🍎You can collect all the data in the world and still miss the story.🍎We explore how context, workflows and people shape what data actually means, and why dashboards don’t automatically lead to good decisions.

Day 3 - Workflows ≠ Reality

🍎Paper and PowerPoint describe workflows.🍎Real clinical environments follow human behaviour, workarounds and constraints.🍎We look at the gap between policy and practice, and why systems crack there.

Day 4 - AI ≠ Magic

🍎AI is not a miracle. It needs good data, clear goals and responsible oversight.🍎We talk about how AI sits on top of existing systems and what happens when the basics aren’t in place.

Day 5 - Speed ≠ Progress

🍎Going fast without direction leads to rework, frustration and waste.🍎We explore the tension between timelines, change fatigue and sustainable progress.

What you will be able to do

🍎Understand why digital tools often feel confusing or disconnected from reality🍎See how real-world work shapes how systems behave and where they break🍎Recognise the logic behind common frustrations with digital health tools🍎Distinguish between good intentions and real outcomes in digital projects🍎Hold clearer, calmer conversations about digital health and change

A Social Impact Initiative

Why it’s free

The Digital-in-Health Innovator series (Level 1 & Level 2) is free by design.It is created as a social impact initiative to support the health and social care workforce.Every role matters. Everyone deserves clarity. Knowledge shouldn’t be locked behind jargon, complexity or paywalls.This is one way of giving back to the people who keep our care systems running.

About the creator

Hi, I’m Dr. Adam Chee, an award winning (e.g. Microsoft Certified Professional Hall of Fame. HIMSS Future50 - Innovation Leader & HIMSS Changemaker in Health), practitioner professor who has spent decades bridging healthcare, people and technology.My work centres on one idea: digital health should serve people, not confuse them.As a pioneer in digital health transformation, I’ve spent over two decades helping governments, NGOs, startups and multinationals use data, technology and design to transform care models across Asia Pacific and the Middle East.I’m also an AI Master Trainer for ASEAN, advise organisations such as WHO and APEC on digital health and health data, teach at various universities, and speak globally on digital health innovation and sustainable adoption.This programme is part of that commitment: making digital health understandable for everyone, not just those with technical training.

Where this came from

The Digital-in-Health Innovator series builds (mainly) on three earlier initiatives:

1) Mini-HI™ (Mini Health Informatician)🍎A specialized in-person program (2014 - 2020) across Singapore, Taiwan (China), Korea, Dubai and Saudi Arabia.🍎Helped professionals distinguish Health Informatics from Health IT, collaborate better, optimize clinical workflow, apply standards and use informatics to improve health outcomes.🍎Spin-offs included:■ A localized Mini-HI offered exclusively via National University of Singapore (2015 to 2020)■ Executive Certificate in Digital Health for SingHealth Polyclinics (2019)■ Digital Health & Health Informatics offered via Nanyang Polytechnic (2019)■ Health Informatics Jumpstart, an in-house course for Synapxe (2022 - 2023)Limitation: required time, budget and physical attendance.

2) RDHI (Rethinking Digital Health Innovation)🍎Weekly LinkedIn series (2025) demystifying digital transformation.🍎Highlighted that innovation goes beyond just IT or AI.🍎Shared practical insights for cross-disciplinary collaboration.Limitation: LinkedIn isn’t widely used by health professionals.

3) Error 404: Care Not Found©🍎Weekly comic series on LinkedIn (2025).🍎Used humour and storytelling to surface real-world challenges of AI in health: data deluge, algorithmic bias, digital fatigue, governance, and more.Limitation: LinkedIn isn’t widely used by health professionals.

The Digital-in-Health Innovator series takes the lessons from all three: high-impact content in a more accessible, email-based format, at no cost.

Short lessons. Clear explanations. No jargon.

🍎There are no systems to learn
🍎No tools to master
🍎No right or wrong answersInstead, this course focuses on understanding - the kind that helps things finally make sense.Each lesson is built around familiar situations from real work, explained clearly and without jargon.

How the next 5 days will work🍎You’ll receive one email a day
🍎Each lesson takes about 5–7 minutes to read
🍎You can read it anytime, at your own pace
🍎There’s nothing to submit and no homework
🍎You don’t need to reply to these emailsIf you miss a day, that’s completely fine.

That alone is enough.Everything else is optional (reflection, questions, or simply sitting with the idea).If you can invest the time to go deeper (highly recommended), your understanding will compound.

One important thing to knowIf something resonates, it’s not because you’re “behind.”It’s because many people were never given a clear explanation in the first place.That’s what this programme is here to change.

You’re here because you completed Level 1 (Discovery).That already sets you apart.Level 1 helped you understand why digital systems behave the way they do.Level 2 sharpens something even more valuable:🍎Your ability to see the early signs.The moment of truth for this level is simple:🍎“Now I can see where this is heading.”

What Level 2 is aboutLevel 2 is designed to help you build the ability to spot when digital work is quietly drifting off course, before problems escalate.By the end of Level 2, you’ll be better at noticing:🍎Small irritations that signal deeper issues🍎Workarounds becoming hidden dependencies🍎Dashboards that look fine while reality struggles🍎Workflow problems mistaken for people problems🍎Shiny tools introduced to fix broken foundationsYou move from: “Oh… so that’s why” (Level 1) to “I know where this is going” (Level 2).

How Level 2 works🍎You’ll receive one email every other day
🍎Each lesson takes about 5–7 minutes to read
🍎You can read it anytime, at your own pace
