Build a Medical Diagnosis Bot with Python

This course includes downloadable project files.

Explore problem-solving with programming by making a medical bot!

Programs – and their associated algorithms – generally exist to solve real-world problems that we face every day. While present in every major industry, modern medicine is one where the digital revolution has changed everything about how doctors approach treating patients.

In this course, you’ll use Python to create a text-based medical bot that walks users through diagnosing dehydration. Along the way, you’ll practice key aspects of creating algorithms, master principles of software project management, and even discover the real-world impacts such programs have.

Regardless of what industry you think has problems to solve, this project will ensure you can both implement your ideas and apply your knowledge of algorithms in complex programming situations.

This course assumes familiarity with Python fundamentals.

You will learn how to:

• Manage coding projects
• Design and implement algorithms
• Create decision-based questionnaires
• Process output and user input
• Test algorithm logic thoroughly
• Understand societal and data implications

… and more!

Requirements:

• Basic Python knowledge and a Python coding environment
