About the Course

An increasing volume of data is becoming available in biomedicine and healthcare, from genomic data, to electronic patient records and data collected by wearable devices. Recent advances in data science are transforming the life sciences, leading to precision medicine and stratified healthcare. In this course, you will learn about some of the different types of data and computational methods involved in stratified healthcare and precision medicine. You will have a hands-on experience of working with such data. And you will learn from leaders in the field about successful case studies. Topics include: (i) Sequence Processing, (ii) Image Analysis, (iii) Network Modelling, (iv) Probabilistic Modelling, (v) Machine Learning, (vi) Natural Language Processing, (vii) Process Modelling and (viii) Graph Data.

Great course, really well designed and well produced and I feel like I've learned a lot! The coding was a bit of a shock to the system but it was nice and challenging. Thank you to the team!

It's a great course to get familiar with the key areas that concern Stratified Healthcare, Precision Medicine and biomedicine data management in general. I wish there were a specialised course on these matters!

A good introduction and overview to precision medecine and stratified healthcare. Even if the interview are a bit out-of-date, the main idea and problematic are still appicable nowadays.

Pros:

- It was useful to learn some keywords in data science.

- helpful to play with basics of python.

- helpful to see how python helps manage data.

Cons:

- it was distracting to see the lecturers in the video. It would have been helpful if they were just voice overs. It would have helped photographic memory if they replaced having themselves in the video with images of pathways, or even simple slides with words instead.

- interviews with faculty members were interesting but were time-dependent. Meaning some of those projects are not longer operational due to lack of funding or other reasons.

- The topics seemed disconnected and confusing.

- the course objective was not unified and it seemed disconnected themes wee merged into one course. One theme taught by each lecturer.

It's a great course for healthcare professionals who want to be introduced into how data-science works and what it's going to transform the healthcare industry. The course hosts some of the brightest minds working on precision medicine and teaches you how to get your hands dirty with beginner data-science code and problem solving. Definitely recommended and I really hope for a coursera specialization after this wonderful introduction.

Great course for those who have a wider interest in the Healthcare domain from a Data science perspective. This is one of the courses which I completed most of the weekly allocated tasks/learning well before the timeline. Highly recommending. Thanks to the University of Edinburgh & Coursera for this impressive course. This will definitely help me do research work on medical image analysis along with NLP techniques.

The lectures are superb. The guest interviews are pretty meaningful and in a true sense like a practical real-world case studies. The progress in this field and its enabling technologies is happening rapidly. I wish they would come up with an updated version.
