Learn how AI impacts the healthcare ecosystem through real-life case studies with TensorFlow 2.0 and other machine learning (ML) libraries.

This book begins by explaining the dynamics of the healthcare market, including the role of stakeholders such as healthcare professionals, patients, and payers. Then it moves into the case studies. The case studies start with EHR data and how you can account for sub-populations using a multi-task setup when you are working on any downstream task. You also will try to predict ICD-9 codes using the same data. You will study transformer models. And you will be exposed to the challenges of applying modern ML techniques to highly sensitive data in healthcare using federated learning. You will look at semi-supervised approaches that are used in a low training data setting, a case very often observed in specialized domains such as healthcare. You will be introduced to applications of advanced topics such as the graph convolutional network and how you can develop and optimize image analysis pipelines when using 2D and 3D medical images. The concluding section shows you how to build and design a closed-domain Q&A system with paraphrasing, re-ranking, and strong QnA setup. And, lastly, after discussing how web and server technologies have come to make scaling and deploying easy, an ML app is deployed for the world to see with Docker using Flask.

By the end of this book, you will have a clear understanding of how the healthcare system works and how to apply ML and deep learning tools and techniques to the healthcare industry.
