Big Data and Machine Learning in Healthcare Applications

Harvard HMS

This course is designed as a critical, hands-on exploration of major healthcare data sources and current state-of-the-art algorithms. The students will learn how to use data for solving the most challenging healthcare problems, to achieve real implementation gains, and to avoid common pitfalls. We will study a wide range of real problems (in clinical workflows, patient records, medical images), to see how their data patterns can be found and used in the most meaningful way. Course…
