Overview
This Identifying Patient Populations offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado System teaches you the fundamentals of computational phenotyping, a biomedical informatics method for identifying patient populations. In this course you will learn how different clinical data types perform when trying to identify patients with a particular disease or trait.
Key facts
- You will also learn how to program different data manipulations and combinations to increase the complexity and improve the performance of your algorithms.
- Finally, you will have a chance to put your skills to the test with a real-world practical application where you develop a computational phenotyping algorithm to identify patients who have hypertension.
- You will complete this work using a real clinical data set while using a free, online computational environment for data science hosted by our Industry Partner Google Cloud.
What you'll learn
- Create a computational phenotyping algorithm
- Assess algorithm performance in the context of analytic goal.
- Create combinations of at least three data types using boolean logic
- Explain the impact of individual data type performance on computational phenotyping.
