Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare
This eight-week online course explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry, offering learners a comprehensive understanding of how AI is reshaping diagnostics, treatment, and patient care. It begins by unpacking the fundamentals of machine learning and deep learning, showing how these technologies enhance clinical decision-making and operational efficiency. Learners then examine various types of AI used in healthcare, including natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, robotics, and generative AI, with real-world examples of how these tools are applied in medical diagnostics and personalized medicine. Ethical considerations are a central theme throughout the course, encouraging participants to critically assess issues related to bias, fairness, data privacy, and the psychological impact of AI integration. By the end of the program, learners will be equipped with the knowledge to lead in a tech-driven healthcare environment, understanding both the opportunities and challenges that AI presents.
