How will artificial intelligence shape the future of healthcare innovation?

Course Info

The face of healthcare is changing - innovative technologies, based on recent advances in artificial intelligence, are radically altering how care is delivered. Startups are offering entirely new ways to diagnose, manage, treat, and operate. Few ever reach the patient - those that do have much more than an idea and an algorithm; they have an intimate understanding of the healthcare landscape and the technical knowhow to successfully integrate AI solutions into the medical system. In this course, we tackle the central question: How can young students find feasible and impactful medical problems, and build, scale, and translate technology solutions into the clinic? Together, we will discover the transformative technologies of tomorrow that we can build today. Please see the syllabus for more information. We encourage students of all backgrounds to enroll- the only prerequisite is a strong passion for technology in healthcare. Syllabus: rebrand.ly/aihealth
