Biomedical Data Science Capstone Design

3 units

Previously described as BME 401DS. This course provides a client-centered design experience in biomedical data science. Students will work as individuals or in small teams with possible clients to define and scope an unmet need in biomedical data science. The students will work on an original solution or a redesign of an existing solution to address the unmet need. The design experience will involve application of knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework. It will also incorporate best practices in biomedical data science, including ethical considerations such as respect for persons, social license, and vulnerabilities; patient safety and privacy; and HIPAA compliance. Students will be guided through the design process and will produce and present appropriate deliverables for their project. This course is required for the Biomedical Data Science minor.
