TOP REVIEWS FROM FUNDAMENTALS OF MACHINE LEARNING FOR HEALTHCARE
great overview to explain ML to all members of a team developing healthcare applications of AI
it is a really good course for learning ML but some of the videos are a bit hard to fully understand
This was a great course, the presenters really gave a clear view about the differences which could happen when working with health related data set. Very well done,
The course was inspiring and useful for a future career! Congratulations to Professor Matthew Lungren and Assistant Professor Serena Yeung! :)
About the AI in Healthcare Specialization
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.
