<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> An integration of digital medicine into medical education can help future physicians shape the transformation medicine. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> We aim to describe and evaluate a newly developed course for teaching (the Bielefeld model) first time. <title>METHODS</title> The was held with undergraduate students at Medical School Ostwestfalen-Lippe University, Germany, in 2023 evaluated via pretest-posttest surveys. subjective objective achievement superordinate learning objectives subordinate course, design, importance were using 5-point Likert scales (1=&lt;i&gt;strongly disagree&lt;/i&gt;; 5=&lt;i&gt;strongly agree&lt;/i&gt;); reasons absences assessed multiple-choice format, comments collected. comprised (1) understanding factors driving implementation products processes, (2) application this knowledge project, (3) empowerment design such solutions future. competencies related objective. <title>RESULTS</title> In total, 10 (male: n=4, 40%; female: n=6, 60%; mean age 21.7, SD 2.1 years) course. achieved well very well—the medians 4 (IQR 4-5), 3-5), 4-4) scale units first, second, third objectives, respectively, 3-4), 4.5 3-5) units, respectively. Participants mastered on average, better after than before (presurvey median 2.5, IQR 2-3 units; postsurvey 4, 3-4 units). concept rated as highly suitable achieving (median 5, 4-5 objectives). On strongly liked units) gained benefit from it 4.5, All fully agreed that staff strength category &lt;i&gt;positive feedback or positive personal experience course&lt;/i&gt; received most comments. <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> framework shows promise attaining within realm medicine, notwithstanding constraint limited interpretability arising small sample size further limitations. aligns insights derived research domain albeit identifiable areas enhancement. A literature review indicates dearth publications pertaining analogous courses Germany. Future investigations should entail more exhaustive evaluation summary, constitutes valuable contribution incorporating education.
