Evaluation and Governance of AI in HealthcareDescriptionOn this course you will learn how to appraise existing evidence about AI health technologies and how to generate local evidence to support decision-making in a specific setting. You will also gain an understanding of the different forms of risk that AI health technologies pose for healthcare providers and the principles and practicalities that influence how those risks are managed. Best practices in these key areas are emerging, with limited capabilities across many UK and global healthcare providers. Because of the interdisciplinarity and novelty of the challenges posed by AI governance and evaluation in healthcare, this course is accessible for a wide range of applicants. This practice-oriented module is grounded in the faculty’s recent or active research in the UK, US and elsewhere. You will develop competencies that enable you to bring organisations up to date to efficiently deliver safe, effective and fair AI-enabled healthcare.
Foundations of AI Technologies in HealthcareDescriptionThis practical introductory course aims to deliver a working understanding of established and emerging forms of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, without demanding prior technical expertise from attendees. As AI technologies revolutionise processes and ways of working, literacy in AI is already becoming influential over professionals’ productivity and performance in many sectors. This course will prepare you to exploit this opportunity, understanding key characteristics of AI technologies and the challenges and opportunities they present for various real-world tasks. Both technical and applied perspectives from our cross-college faculty will facilitate this journey.
Quality Assurance for Healthcare TechnologiesDescriptionThis introductory course aims to orientate you to the regulatory landscape in which healthcare technologies sit. This will include an introduction to relevant regulatory bodies and their scope, the classification systems applied to healthcare technologies and the standards and processes which are used to evaluate these technologies across their lifecycle. These insights will enable you to understand the demands of regulations upon manufacturers and adopters as they plan their innovation activities. Students will also develop the foundation for further training in standards auditing and other professional roles in healthcare quality.
A key component of this module is the focus on Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and AI as a Medical Device (AIaMD). Supported by a range of international guest speakers from policy and industry, the content will reflect the latest trends and regulatory updates in these rapidly evolving areas, not only helping you to understand existing frameworks but also to anticipate changes in regulations as technologies advance. This will provide students an up-to-date understanding of rapidly evolving regulations in technologies attracting global investment and interest.
