AI in Healthcare Coursera

Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed industries around the world, and has the potential to radically alter the field of healthcare. Imagine being able to analyze data on patient visits to the clinic, medications prescribed, lab tests, and procedures performed, as well as data outside the health system -- such as social media, purchases made using credit cards, census records, Internet search activity logs that contain valuable health information, and you’ll get a sense of how AI could transform patient care and diagnoses.

In this AI in Healthcare Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with Stanford, we'll discuss the current and future applications of AI in healthcare with the goal of learning to bring AI technologies into the clinic safely and ethically.

Applied Learning Project

• The final course will consist of a capstone project that will take you on a guided tour exploring all the concepts we have covered in the different classes. 

• This will be a hands-on experience following a patient's journey from the lens of the data, using a unique dataset created for this specialization.

• We will review how the different choices you make -- such as those around feature construction, the data types to use, how the model evaluation is set up and how you handle the patient timeline -- affect the care that would be recommended by the model.

Skills you'll gain

• Machine Learning

• Leadership and Management

• Artificial Neural Networks

• Data Analysis
