Introduction 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the healthcare landscape. From the development of new drugs and treatments to the delivery of care, AI has the potential to improve the lives of patients and providers alike. However, with this transformation comes a new set of ethical challenges. The Healthcare Engineering Lab is an informal gathering of like-minded faculty and students. Our areas of interest include:

• Machine Learning and AI applied to the analysis of health insurance data, 

• Medical image processing using DeepLearning/AI, 

• The ethics of Artificial Intelligence (in general and in relation to medical data and devices), and

• Generative AI and Agentic AI

We believe that our R&D work will help to ensure that AI is used to improve the lives of patients and providers, while also protecting the rights and interests of individuals. We invite you to join us in this important work. 

MS in Applied Data Science 

Currently, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County's Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering offers a PBS (Certificate) and an MS (Master of Science) in Applied Data Science. The admissions requirements can be found on the Registrar's website. 

PBC students need 4 courses whereas MS students need 10 courses in total. After finishing the first 6 required courses and one semi-elective, MS students can choose various pathways in their MS program to take 3 more courses from the same pathway.
