What is this course about?

The volume of health-related data is increasing exponentially in the digital age. In an era of big data development, there are significant challenges around data sharing and data integration. With advancements in smartphone technologies, diagnostics, and wearable devices, it is only a matter of time whereby a “smart home” will become a “smart hospital-in-a-home”. Now, more than ever, there is a need to be able to harness these data in an appropriate manner for health management and research.

In this course, you will gain an understanding of the basic concepts of big data, AI and the internet-of-medical-things (IoMT), and why these are important to the health and healthcare sectors. You will explore the current big data landscape and how the IoMT can benefit patient and healthcare management through the use of compatible devices, apps and research platforms. Lastly, you will investigate some of the benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations of implementing AI innovations in healthcare.
