AI in Healthcare: From Innovation to Impact

AI is now writing clinical notes from doctor-patient conversations, drafting replies to patient portal messages, reading X-rays and other medical images, and spotting early signs of sepsis in the ICU.

AI's capability is no longer in doubt.

But a technical achievement is one thing, and real benefits to patients, clinicians, or the health system are another.

We'll examine what it takes to translate AI advances into real-world impact in healthcare: choosing problems that matter, integrating with clinical workflows, monitoring quality and outcomes, and making sure the tool actually helps the people it's meant to serve.

We'll explore where AI is genuinely improving care today, where it's adding complexity without value, and where things are headed next.

This course is for engineers and entrepreneurs building AI tools for health, healthcare professionals considering or using AI in their practice, and anyone encountering AI in their own care.
