90-835 Special Topics: Designing Smart and Healthy Systems

3 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Classes held in person from 9 AM 430 PM on Sunday, March 30, 2025, 9 AM 430 PM on Saturday, April 12th, and 9 AM 1200 PM on Saturday, April 19th. This course will give students with no previous experience in artificial intelligence a chance to learn about applications of AI to health care. Drawing on consulting experience for healthcare clients, this course will survey several reallife healthcare applications of AI capabilities, including predictive modeling, intelligent computer interaction, social network analysis, computer vision, and large language models. Along the way, we will also discuss concepts from behavioral economics, causal inference, gamification and more. Beyond introducing students to the field, the course aims to build critical thinking skills, so for their final project, teams of students will describe an AI healthcare application and a critical evaluation of claims made by researchers or vendors for that application
