  • Sensitization, appreciation, and familiarization with applications of AI tools and technologies in healthcare.
  • Fostering awareness of ethical and governance issues related to AI in medicine.

Target Group

  • Faculty, and medical professionals (MD, MS, MCh, DM, MDS).
  • Postgraduate medical students (MBBS, BDS)

Eligibility:

  • Basic understanding of healthcare processes and clinical practice
  • Curiosity for understanding the impact of modern technology in healthcare.

Expected outcomes

  • Informed, Aware, and Responsible end-users of AI
  • Ability to evaluate, test, and validate AI applications
  • Improved ability to critically assess AI research and technologies.
  • Enhanced ability to work collaboratively on AI projects in healthcare.

Course contents

Module 1: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare

  • Learning paradigms: Supervised Learning (Classification & regression); Unsupervised Learning (Clustering); Reinforcement Learning
  • The ML Pipeline: Feature extraction, selection, and dimensionality reduction; Model building, validation, and evaluation metrics
  • Recent Trends in AI: Generative AI, Foundational Models, ChatGPT

Module 3: Clinical Applications

  • Structure of Case Studies:
    • Components: Clinical presentation and role of AI/ML; Data preparation and feature processing; Model building and evaluation [ relevant ML and DL algorithms will be introduced]; Results, inference, and wrap-up
  • Domains (any 4 topics)
    • Screening: early detection, monitoring, wearables, chatbots
    • Diagnosis: staging, grading, subtyping
    • Prognosis: survival / risk prediction, treatment outcomes
    • Treatment Related: surgery, drug delivery, precise intervention
    • Patient Management: recovery, readmission, monitoring (ICU, ER)
    • Hospital Resource Management: administration, pharmacy, insurance, fraud

Cases from the above domains will be discussed in relation to various data types (bio signals, images, tabular, molecular, and textual) and different algorithms (tree-based methods, neural networks, deep neural networks) relevant for specific problems.

Module 4: Ethics and Governance of AI

  • Ethical issues, data protection, privacy, anonymity, biases
  • Regulations and governance frameworks for software as medical device

Course Delivery and Certification

Lectures: Pre-recorded lectures (~1 hour content delivered as 4 videos each of 15 minutes duration) released every week for participants to enable flexible learning at their convenience.

Contact Sessions: Weekly online contact session (1 hour duration) comprising summary of the lecture material, tutorials on the material covered in the video lectures, Q&A, and live demonstration of case studies.

Demo of AI applications: Demo of simple AI applications relevant to healthcare are taken up during the contact sessions.

Expected Study-time: 3 hours per week.

Course Assessment: The course videos would also have short quizzes / assignments to complete before the contact session. Post-course assessment to measure learning outcomes.

Certification: Upon satisfactory completion of lectures, contact sessions and assessments, a certificate of course completion will be issued jointly by NAMS and IIIT-H.
