Promotion and Events SpecialistAI plays an increasingly important role in patient treatment. With its ability to accurately predict diseases at early stages, AI is regarded as a powerful tool in today’s healthcare industry.
Since AI offers benefits such as informed patient care, improved patient safety, and innovative treatment options, it isn’t surprising that 56% of clinicians believe that most of their decisions over the next decade will be made using AI-based clinical decision support tools. However, clinicians face a knowledge gap and report the rising need for professionals who understand AI-based technologies and ways of leveraging them for the advantage of healthcare providers and patients.
With a focus on the application of AI in modern-day healthcare, MIT xPRO’s AI in Healthcare: Fundamentals and Applications program is designed to give clinical leaders, healthcare IT professionals, and healthcare entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn how AI technologies can make a difference in patient treatment and enable them to develop innovative solutions to the healthcare challenges of today and tomorrow.
Healthcare technology is at a critical stage, and people with AI expertise have the power to determine its future.
The projected market size of AI-based global healthcare solutions by 2030
The increase in the number of US hospitals that have implemented AI since 2020
The percentage of life sciences leaders who report a shortage of people with AI-implementation skills in their organizations
A basic understanding of artificial AI, machine learning, data science, and AI in healthcare is ideal in order to make the most of this program.
Note: This program has no prerequisites. However, a preliminary understanding of AI, machine learning, and data is recommended to maximize the program's potential.
