Reinforcement learning for healthcare

Reinforcement learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that provides methods to optimize sequential decisions for long-term outcomes. It has many potential applications in healthcare, such as improving treatment strategies, enhancing patient safety, and reducing costs.
Possible topics
- Contextual Bayesian non-stationary treatment recommendations
- Data safe havens, federated learning and other privacy-enhancing techniques
- Improving human board game performance through reinforcement learning
- Reinforcement learning for complex adaptive individual health interventions
- Simulation of patient data for micro-randomized trials
