Program Overview

The field of artificial intelligence has now begun to mature in many industries. Healthcare, however, still struggles to unlock the gains that these powerful technologies can provide. At the same time, health systems worldwide are struggling with aging populations, rising expectations, and ballooning costs. Innovation with AI in Health Care will give you a map to deal with these issues and transform your organization into an innovative, 21st century institution. 

A barrier to the adoption of AI in healthcare is a lack of awareness amongst healthcare leaders. Many do not understand both the technical concepts of AI and the art of implementing these technologies successfully and at scale. The result is that the potential of AI to deliver value to patients, clinicians, and healthcare organizations is not realized, and precious resources are wasted in unsuccessful implementations. This course will teach the foundations of applied artificial intelligence from a business perspective and help provide key intuition for decision makers to lessen those missteps. 

Innovation with AI in Health Care will help leaders of healthcare organizations develop the skills needed to realize the value of AI in healthcare and advance their careers through demonstrating leadership in digital transformation of healthcare. It also brings together a diverse community of leaders from the technical, clinical, and business worlds. This collective of the world’s largest technology and healthcare organizations will share their experiences—both positive and negative—of developing and implementing AI solutions in healthcare.
