What awaits you in this course?

Technology can optimise the delivery of healthcare and drive down costs while improving patient outcomes however, as the volume of data keeps growing, it’s becoming critical to understand its value. This makes data an essential element of digital transformation.  Therefore, data analytics in healthcare assembles activities to analyse the collected data from various areas within the healthcare sector, such as clinical data, claims and cost data, pharmaceutical data, and sentiment data. This course aims to provide knowledge and insights into the objectives of the advanced analytical methods focused on healthcare. This includes the prediction models, statistical analysis, and visualisation methods. Integrating the associated challenges is essential for improving the predictive power of the data will also be discussed. These aspects are presented from a deep background knowledge up to the practical application and the benefits from the emerging technologies. The individual and practical focus towards data science and data analytics are further ensured by case studies.
