Course overview
Today, health data is measured in the trillions of gigabytes. It doubles every 75 days. Big data is a term used to describe data sets that are so large and complex, they can’t be managed or analysed using traditional methods. In health, big data includes the:
- Millions of records generated routinely by health services
- Real-time clinical data captured at the point-of-care
- Genomic and imaging data produced in research and clinical settings
- Health-related data generated by the population at large through wearable devices and social media.
The Graduate Diploma in Health Data Science will prepare you to find the right data, unlock hidden insights and use this information to better support clinical care, inform health policy and improve population health. This program covers the entire pipeline from comprehension of complex health issues through to data wrangling and management, machine learning and data mining, data analytics, data modelling and data communication.
