Machine Learning in Healthcare (no coding required!)

• Health data 101
• How to plan the analysis and to get buy in
• What you should know about health data for predictive modeling purposes
• What predictive model features are, and how to create them
• Statistical model primer
• How to build predictive models: step by step guide: using case study
• How to assess model performance

This course will teach you how to work with health data, using machine learning models to find actionable insights.

Through a step-by-step guided case study, you will learn practical skills that you can apply immediately!

We will use a case study:Opioid Abuse Prediction for a clinic

Topics we will cover:

1. Health Data (sources, types, features, error handling)

2. Logistics of machine learning

3. What predictive model features are, and how to create them

4. A statistical primer, highlighting key machine learning models and concepts

5. Build a decision tree, logistic regression and random forest through

   1. Opioid abuse prediction case study

   2. KNIME (a free machine learning software, no coding required!)

6. Assess model performance

7. Output presentation and implementation
