This innovative course is a result of the school-enterprise cooperation between Huawei and Fudan University. Huawei together with Professor Liu Yun developed the course, compiled teaching materials and pamphlets, and designed experiments. This course combines theory with practice. It is devoted to help students strengthen their understanding of medical AI theory, and learn to apply the theory to solve practical medical problems, and have fundamental knowledge about the application scenarios and methods of medical AI technologies.

Huawei has invested a lot in the development and innovation of AI technologies. In the medical field, Huawei is committed to using AI to resolve world's major technical problems. So far, Huawei has taken the lead in applying AI in areas such as cervical cancer diagnosis, ultrasonic measurement, stroke treatment, and lung nodule detection. Huawei's innovative AI algorithms used in medical AI chips, medical diagnosis, and pathological screening are also world-leading in terms of accuracy and speed. To facilitate the digital transformation of enterprises and social organizations, Huawei has developed multiple AI certification courses, including HCIA-AI, HCIP-AI HiAI Developer, and HCIP-AI EI Developer. These courses are designed to develop more professionals who are capable of AI development and innovation.
