About Machine Learning Fundamentals for Healthcare course
Machine learning and artificial intelligence have the potential to transform healthcare and open up a world of incredible possibilities. But we will never realize the potential of these technologies unless all stakeholders have a basic understanding of healthcare and machine learning concepts and principles.
This course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts and principles of machine learning as they apply to medicine and healthcare. We will cover machine learning approaches, medical use cases, metrics unique to healthcare, and best practices for designing, building, and evaluating machine learning applications in healthcare. The course will provide individuals with non-engineering backgrounds in healthcare, medical policy, pharmaceutical development, and data science with the knowledge needed to critically evaluate and use these technologies.
