Syllabus

Bridging the AI Gap

In this module, you'll learn about some independent organizations involved in evaluating algorithms, SPIRIT-AI and CONSORT-AI. These are members of the Coalition for Health IT (CHAI). You'll also refresh yourself on the development steps of an AI Algorithm, focusing primarily on where your dataset comes from.

Healthcare Data Analytics

This Module will concentrate on the value of Machine learning in analyzing patient data, including data generated by large clinical trials. Youll learn about the benefits of subgroup analysis and take a closer look at a large randomized trial conducted by Mayo Clinic investigators. Well also explore the difference between correlation and causality, including some unexpected insights about their relationship.

Delivering AI/Machine Learning at the Bedside: Solving the Workflow Problem

In this module well examine the challenge of delivering AI based algorithms in the real world. What works in an AI Lab doesn't always translate at the bedside. With that in mind, we'll discuss the need for creating a delivery system that will you incorporate these tools into everyday workflows.

The Future of Digital Health

In this module, youll gaze into our crystal ball to figure out which AI tools are likely to endure. Youll take a closer look at conversational tech, generative AI and several Mayo Clinic digital solutions that will transform healthcare in the next few years.
