Fine-Tuning AI for Healthcare: Medical Diagnosis and Predictive Analytics

• An understanding of machine learning principles and supervised learning
• Experience with healthcare datasets such as EMRs, imaging data, or clinical notes
• Knowledge of Python and ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch)

Audience

• Medical AI developers
• Healthcare data scientists
• Professionals building diagnostic or predictive healthcare models

Fine-tuning is a critical process for adapting pre-trained AI models to healthcare-specific diagnostic and predictive tasks.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level to advanced-level medical AI developers and data scientists who wish to fine-tune models for clinical diagnosis, disease prediction, and patient outcome forecasting using structured and unstructured medical data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Fine-tune AI models on healthcare datasets including EMRs, imaging, and time-series data.
• Apply transfer learning, domain adaptation, and model compression in medical contexts.
• Address privacy, bias, and regulatory compliance in model development.
• Deploy and monitor fine-tuned models in real-world healthcare environments.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
