Description
You will attend a ‘journal club’ each week in term 1 and term 2. You will receive a list of papers on artificial intelligence applied to healthcare at the start of each term and, each week, you will present a paper, providing a clear summary of the findings and an appraisal of the quality of evidence and likely impact. The papers will cover innovations in methods of AI, use of data, approaches to new problems in healthcare and the ethical and societal implications. The academic chairing the session will facilitate a discussion involving the whole class.
The module aims to provide you with a detailed understanding of research in artificial intelligence applied to healthcare. You will gain an awareness of the range of methods used in the field, of the problems to which they are applied and the research approaches used to assess them. You will gain experience in reading and appraising research papers and in contributing to a constructive discussion of research ideas.
You will, over the course of 20 weeks, closely engage with the leading publications shaping the field of artificial intelligence as it is applied to healthcare. You will learn about the most successful and the most innovative approaches to implementing artificial intelligence. You will learn how these are developed, and how they are evaluated.
