The course will teach students about applying AI to electronic health records, 2D and 3D medical imaging, and medical-grade wearables.
Online education provider
Udacity launched the AI for Healthcare program on Wednesday, designed to provide
learners with practical experience and resources for building health-based
artificial intelligence solutions.
The program was announced as part of Udacity’s AI for Healthcare COVID-19 virtual conference.

“Artificial
intelligence has the potential to bring about monumental improvements in any
industry where data is collected, but few fields have as significant an impact
on our quality of life as does healthcare,” said Udacity CEO, Gabe
Dalporto.
“By leveraging the
power of AI, providers can deploy precise, efficient, and impactful
interventions at exactly the right moment in a patient’s care. Through our AI
for Healthcare Nanodegree program, we’re equipping data scientists and other
AI-minded professionals to use their skills to enable faster and more accurate
diagnoses of medical conditions and to build the treatments of the
future.”
The course will teach students about applying AI to electronic health records, 2D and 3D medical imaging, and medical-grade wearables.
As with most of Udacity’s programs, the AI for Healthcare will be delivered by experts in the field. These include scientists from Alphabet’s Verily Life Sciences, Microsoft Research, Wellframe, and Genentech.
At a time when most universities have moved courses online, Udacity may be an accessible and cost-effective way for professionals to learn new skills. The AI for Healthcare program also provides key skills for professionals looking to use technology to tackle COVID-19 and other viruses.
