2024/25
During the last 20 years Clinical guidelines and Clinical pathways improved the quality of care received by the patients. They guarantee that a good standard care is provide to every patient. The next step is to personalize patient treatment and monitoring using clinical status, genetic variables, … This step requires the use of tools able to extract the right information at the right moment from hundreds of data.
The aim of the course is to present innovative applications that can be used in the routine clinical processes to personalize patient care.
The laboratory work will allow the students to apply the methods to realistic problems.
The students will
- learn the main applications in the field of decision aid for personalized patient care and the challenges that needs to be addressed;
- different AI metodi that can be applied in the field;
- how to use these methos.
