Data Methods for Health Research (CHME0013)

The overall aim of this module is to equip you for a role as health data scientists by providing them with practical hands-on skills for exploring, cleaning and transforming raw biomedical data into research-ready datasets for statistical analysis.

By the end of the module, you should be able to:

Apply and explain the fundamental steps of the relational model on complex health-related datasets
	Outline the fundamental principles of scientific programming and computing for health data science with SQL
	Design, set up and administrate databases to query health data stored in relational databases
	Design and implement data curation algorithms using linked electronic health records
	Outline, explain, and apply the area of evidence synthesis in order to detect and evaluate existing scientific knowledge in health data science
This is a compulsory module for all students on the MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert in Health Data Science, an optional module for all students on the MRes in Artificial Intelligence in Enabled Healthcare, and is open to MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert students in a relevant subject. You should complete Principles of Health Data Science CHME0012 module prior to this module.

You will learn through a mixture of lectures and computer practicals.

For this module you will require a windows or mac laptop that you can use to write software code, execute scripts, and connect to databases; tools we often use include Anaconda, Python 3.*, Visual Studio Code, and MySQL. Tablets are not suitable for development as they do not offer the necessary underlying infrastructure to install and run software.
