BSc (Hons) Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare at University of Derby

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the construction of artificial systems that have intelligent behaviour. They can be used as drug candidate detection in medicine or cancer recognition from scans which have had previous successes but the opportunities in the wider healthcare field are still to be explored. Modern health services have also been transformed by e-referrals, the NHS app and Covid-19 risk stratification.
