Artificial Intelligence will transform the way healthcare is delivered, how disease is diagnosed and treated, how the business of healthcare is managed, and how health research and discovery is conducted in the coming years. Recent focus on the application of artificial intelligence to health and medicine has primarily been on the development of new algorithms and technologies. Capturing value from these algorithms and technologies requires an interdisciplinary approach, engaging health and health science professionals in the design and implementation of the products and services that utilize the algorithms and technologies.

In this module, students will be introduced to the vocabulary of artificial intelligence, basic concepts for the design of solutions that use AI, key challenges and issues in its implementation in health and medicine, and frameworks for identifying opportunities for AI and designing with it.
