Objectives (course unit)

In the course, students learn about artificial intelligence and machine learning, especially in the context of the health care sector. Working with advanced algorithms and programming principles, students evaluate and develop artificial intelligence applications, and apply their theoretical understanding and skills to meet the challenges and innovations of modern health care in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

After the course, the student
- know the key principles, terms and concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning
- know the process of machine learning and AI creation
- know the key applications of AI in the health sector

Content (course unit)

The concept of an algorithm, the basic principles of programming
Principles, terms and concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning
AI and machine learning model creation and testing and quality assessment
Key applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the health sector

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

The student
- knows the key principles, terms and concepts of artificial intelligence
- knows the processes of creating artificial intelligence
- knows the key applications of artificial intelligence and their effects in the health sector

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

The student
- knows the key principles, terms and concepts of artificial intelligence
- knows the processes of creating artificial intelligence
- knows the key applications of artificial intelligence and their effects in the health sector
- will be able to create a machine learning model based on the data in a selected environment and test and evaluate the quality of the model
- will be able to find and analyse applications of artificial intelligence and evaluate the usefulness of artificial intelligence in healthcare processes

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

The student
- knows the key principles, terms and concepts of artificial intelligence
