learning By end of the course the students should be able to:
outcomes 1. uses big data and new ways of presenting Biomedical informatics, together
with traditional scientific research, to reach across medical disciplines
to provide clinical insights, uncover disease, treatment and response
patterns and point to new lines of scientific and medical inquiry.
2. introduce machine learning problems from a practical perspective, focusing
on tasks that drive the adoption of machine learning in biology and medicine
3. Understand the different sub-disciplines of biomedical informatics (BMI)
and identity an area of interest for further study, research, and/or
practice.
4. Comprehend how to acquire, store and maintain, retrieve, analyse, and
meaningfully use biomedical data.
5. Understand how technology, including health information systems and
medical devices, can improve or limit the ability to provide clinical care.
6. Critically think and develop own perspectives on ethical and legal
considerations in use of contemporary technology and informatics in
health care.
7. Apply, analyse, and create technological approaches in the context of
biomedical problems.
8. give a hands-on experience with real-world medical data analysis and
interpret evidence from biomedical informatics literature/research.
9. Use existing software effectively to extract information from large databases
and to use this information in modelling.
Course aims to promote confidence in the understanding and addressing of basic to
intermediate problems of biomedical informatics
