Take your healthcare analytics and machine learning skills to the next level! This Advanced Healthcare Analytics course brings together neural networks, deep learning imaging models, and clinical natural language processing (NLP) to solve high-value problems in modern healthcare. You will explore architectures for clinical prediction, apply convolutional neural networks to medical imaging, and use domain-specific text models for clinical notes. The course also covers responsible AI for safe, ethical deployment, including chatbots and LLM-powered tools.
Using datasets representative of electronic health records, radiology studies, and provider documentation, you will build practical skills through labs in imaging and NLP. In the final project, you will build and evaluate a binary disease prediction model using structured clinical data and compare logistic regression with a neural network to interpret performance on the same dataset. You will also learn model evaluation, workflow-integrated decision support, privacy, and safety.
This course comprises four purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning path.
It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules or submitting assignments. To give you an idea of how long the course takes to complete, it is anticipated that if you work 2 hours per week, you will complete the course in 4 weeks. However, as long as the course is completed before the end date, you can work at your own pace.
The materials for each module will become available when you start the particular module. Methods of learning and assessment will include videos, reading material, online exams questions, and a final peer review assignment.
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your Certificate of Completion.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Build neural network models for clinical prediction.
- Analyze medical images using deep learning architectures.
- Process clinical text with transformer-based NLP.
- Apply AI model interpretation and explainability techniques.
- Implement responsible AI practices and safety considerations in healthcare.
