Objectives of the Course

Artificial intelligence (AI) affects and changes various aspects of society and its activities. Healthcare is also at the beginning of this transformation. The potential use of AI technologies in healthcare needs healthcare professionals with knowledge of AI to enable interactive and explanatory AI and ensure the quality of AI-based systems to increase patient safety. Knowledge of AI is also important for people involved in decision-making, procurement and implementation of AI-based systems. The course introduces and provides basic knowledge about artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in health care.

Course Content

In this course, students will learn about the basics of AI and its application in healthcare such as medical image analysis, data analysis and data extraction, natural language processing and decision support systems. The course will also address ethical issues and data protection issues, regulations and entrepreneurship aspects of AI in healthcare.
