Data science and digital image processing are becoming an increasingly integral part of health care. This course will expose you to many of the ways that data science is used to extract innovative and actionable insights from healthcare-related datasets and medical imaging. In this course, we will examine how predictive modeling is used to assess outcomes, needs and potential interventions. We will also explore medical image analysis which has become an inherent part of medical technology.
Objectives
After this course, you will be able to:
Install Anaconda on a personal computer.
Prepare and explore healthcare-related datasets using the primary tools for data science in Python (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-learn).
Examine many of the unique qualities and challenges of healthcare data.
Understand how data science is impacting medical diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.
Use a data-science approach to evaluate and learn from healthcare data (e.g., behavioral, genomic, pharmacological).
