Work and research in healthcare are evolving rapidly, partly because of innovative technology that is introduced due to a far-reaching digitization of the health sector. AI is one of these technologies that already influences healthcare today for the benefit of patients, professionals, and scholars, and it will continue to do so in the future. Therefore, current and future professionals and scholars, like yourself, will be challenged with the correct adoption of AI in healthcare.
This course is intended to empower you as a healthcare professional or scholar with insights and critical knowledge on the AI era, general principles and concepts of AI, the added value of AI in healthcare and associated data, ethics and regulatory boundaries. The course considers AI in healthcare, both from the perspective of the healthcare professional who wants to be able to evaluate the benefits, limitations and pitfalls of (working with) AI; as well as from the developer’s perspective, who needs to be aware of the technical background in establishing and validating algorithms for AI applications, as well as of the healthcare context.

What you'll learn

  • Define key enabling factors and limitations of AI tools.
  • Explain the main concepts of AI techniques.
  • Identify added value and risks of AI in healthcare applications.
  • Define healthcare data requirements, and identify related societal, ethical, and legal regulations.
  • Explain the role and implications of AI in healthcare.
  • Examine real-life use cases in which AI is already applied in clinical practice.

Management & Leadership Business

The “why movement” linked to crafting purpose and mission statements is now being supplanted by the emerging “where movement.” This movement goes beyond brainstorming towards declaring the “big ideas” that will inspire stakeholders. “Where are we going?” as an organization is the primal question posed by employees that CEOs and product managers must smartly address. This course will teach you how.

Ethics in AI Design (edX)

Robotics & Computer Vision

Learn how to incorporate ethics into the development and implementation of AI systems. AI systems have a great potential to improve society, across a wide range of applications. The challenge is to do so responsibly. AI systems can lead to discrimination, loss of human control and a lack of explainability, to name a few ethical dilemmas they may present. Because of the great impact that AI and Machine Learning has (e.g. ChatGPT by OpenAI, or the use of ML for medical diagnoses), we need to ensure that we design and use them in a way that meets ethical standards.

Improving Global Health: Focusing on Quality and Safety (edX)

Health & Society Medicine & Pharmacology

An introduction to the emerging field of global healthcare quality. Access to healthcare services is critical – but is it enough? We are at a critical inflection point in global health. We have seen improvements in access to care, but struggle to improve human health. A key component of this equation is quality of care. Improving access to healthcare is only as useful as the quality of care provided. Many agree that quality is important – but what is it? How do we define it? How do we measure it? And most importantly, how might we make it better?

How To Taper Patients Off Of Chronic Opioid Therapy (edX)

Medicine & Pharmacology

This activity will enable health care providers to recognize when risks of chronic opioid therapy outweigh benefits, and how to safely and compassionately taper patients down or off of chronic opioid therapy (including the use of buprenorphine to make this transition). A real life patient case scenario will be used to illustrate these principles in practice, including what to say to patients to communicate risks and provide support through the difficult period of withdrawal. When to refer for addiction treatment will also be discussed.

Robotics & Computer Vision

Learn the fundamentals and principal AI concepts about clustering, dimensionality reduction, reinforcement learning and deep learning to solve real-life problems. In this course you will learn the basics of several machine learning topics to help you solve real life challenges. Unsupervised learning techniques such as clustering and dimensionality reduction are useful to make sense of large and/or high dimensional datasets that are not annotated. Deep learning is a supervised learning technique that is useful to train neural networks to solve more complicated classification and regression tasks. Finally, reinforcement learning techniques can be used to train AI agents that interact with an environment.
