HDS

Health Data Science Experiential Learning and Research Hub

The Health Data Science (HDS) program is AI Health’s experiential learning and research hub.

The HDS program is a culmination of initiatives across multiple years, beginning with the early years of Duke Forge and its demonstration project program, the health data science internship program, and the +DS advanced projects program. The HDS program now consolidates AI Health’s experiential education with projects focused on machine learning in healthcare.

HDS also maintains our strong partnerships with groups across Duke including the Rhodes Information Initiative (iiD) and the Center for Computational Thinking (CCT), and our ongoing leadership in the Duke+DataScience (+DS) program. HDS activities include the Duke Machine Learning Schools, Learning Experience seminar series, and Data Studios.
