O Digital Data Design Institute at Nova SBE and NOVA Medical School e o Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard will be offering the first module of “Introduction to AI in Healthcare” free of charge starting April 1st, 2025. This training aims to introduce healthcare professionals and those interested in the field to the transformation of healthcare through Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The Introduction to AI in Healthcare module covers essential topics such as understanding the role of AI in the healthcare industry, the use of AI as a human-centered tool and the importance of responsible and ethical implementation of this technology. The course also explores how AI can transform diagnosis, disease treatment, outbreak prediction and the optimization of healthcare professionals' work, resulting in more accurate and efficient care.
O Digital Data Design Institute at Nova SBE and NOVA Medical School its commitment to innovation by leading this project together with the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard, focused on empowering healthcare professionals to use AI responsibly and effectively. At a time of challenges in the National Health System, such as an ageing population, a shortage of professionals and overloaded health systems, AI is emerging as a strategic solution to improve the quality of care provided and the efficiency of services.
'Artificial Intelligence is evolving at a pace that often exceeds our ability to understand its implications. Education is key to ensuring a solid understanding of its principles and promoting its practical application. This course is an essential step in this journey, and at the Digital Data Design Institute at Nova SBE and NOVA Medical School, we are excited to be able to contribute to the training of leaders in the healthcare field,' says Leid Zejnilovic, Academic Co-Director of the Digital Data Design Institute at Nova SBE and NOVA Medical School.
'AI is not just the future of healthcare - it is already actively transforming our clinical reality. By integrating computational power with human medical expertise, we are seeing significant advances in diagnostics, personalized treatments and care coordination. Our responsibility now is to master these tools through specialized training, ensuring that technology amplifies - and does not replace - human compassion, which remains at the heart of medicine,' underlines Sérgio Laranjo, Deputy Director of the Digital Data Design Institute at Nova SBE and NOVA Medical School.
This course is a starting point for healthcare professionals, with the aim of preparing them to lead innovation in the sector, with an ethical, responsible approach focused on the well-being of patients. The initial module will serve as a basis for exploring more complex topics in the following modules.
