The program empowered me to lead impactful AI projects in healthcare with real-world results.
This program gave me the strategic clarity I needed to bring my vision to life. During the learning journey, my team and I completed Radiologx AI, a diagnostic system now implemented in hospitals. It has reduced the diagnostic time by 40 percent and achieved 0.94 AUC in precision. The faculty’s guidance helped align business objectives with technical execution, making integration with hospital systems smooth. It was an inspiring experience that empowered me to lead meaningful AI projects in healthcare.
