Data Science for Health professionals
Are you working in Healthcare? Do you believe there is a lot more potential in data than we are using right now? Do you have the ambition to be a pionieer in unlocking data and information to support decision making processes? Please consider joining the Data Science and Health program at JADS. The program includes lectures on data science as well as specific lectures and challenges for people working in Healthcare.
Impact with Data Science in your community?
In Healthcare every decision matters. With better access to, and use of, relevant data we will be able to accelerate our learning capacity. Within organisations, but also between organisations. Breaking silo’s and democratizing data for common purposes. Data science is one of the key ingredients to actually know what works for whom. As a pionieer in Data Science for Health you will explore new technologies, new possibilities and a new ecosystem of fellow pionieers.
What does JADS offer in the Health community
Next to the regular curriculum, in which data analytics, data engineering and data domain knowledge are being covered, several specifics for Health are included such as:
During the Execute part:
- A team challenge (5 weeks, part time) to solve a data challenge in the health community, guided by an experienced practitioner.
- You will be able to take part in specific lectures suchs as ethics & trust, playfull intelligence, data standards and interoperability in healthcare, natural language processing, computational personalization.
During the Lead part:
- You will be challenged to select your own Graduation Project, in your company or industry/community, and work together in a buddy team, with people with the same interest.
- You will be coached by a practitioner from your own industry/community.
What type of Health projects can you think of?
During the last 2 years, more than 50 Healthcare professionals took part in one of the Data Science for Professionals programs at JADS (20+ weeks). Graduation project topics included themes like:
- Forecasting of stumbling incidents in hospitals based on notes in Electronic Patient Records.
- Optimized matchmaking between patients and medical specialists.
- Optimization of planning for operating theatres and hospital beds.
- Forecasting of health issues which require hospital care.
