Machine Learning for Smart Health Systems

Who this course is for

This course is for anyone interested in applying machine learning for disease detection, monitoring, and other biomedical applications.

Learn how to process physiological signals e.g. ECG, EEG, PPG, respiration captured from the human body
Feature extraction from physiological signals
Feature selection for the detection of specific diseases of interest
Importance of confounding factor analysis in biomedical applications
Disease classification and severity estimation using machine learning and deep learning models

Technical skills are essential, but not enough, non-technical and domain fields of studies are still essential if you want to understand data science vs its application.
Current and future global challenges in the sector
How data science or artificial intelligence would be applied.
Data science and the necessities to keep learning for life.
Instructor-led online course with guided labs
Real-world, practical assignment(s) leading to project
Application in biomedical and health systems
