This module explores the fundamental principles of applied ‘machine learning’ in healthcare and biomedicine. This course has a focus on applied methods for problems in prevention, diagnosis, therapy, aetiology, and prognosis. Authentic health data and examples serve as an opportunity to explore the concepts in greater depth, raise questions, and enable participants to acquire greater understanding regarding the role of different ML-algorithms in healthcare.
