| Aim: The aim is to holistically describe the process of obtaining knowledge from clinical data, choosing suitable classification algorithms, interpretation, knowledge representation, implementation and evaluation of decision support. After the course the participants should have acquired knowledge on hypothesis testing and classification methods, their properties and their applications in the medical domain. Methods and models used in decision support design and development are surveyed and demonstrated. After the course the participants also should be able to describe the process of evaluating decision support and its impact on treatment results and organization, as well as problems associated with implementation and use of decision support. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TBME02 Anatomy and physiology or TBME50 Biomedical Engineering. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The course contains lectures, seminars, demonstrations, laboratory experiments, home work and a project assignment. It spans HT2 and VT1. |
|||
