Business Intelligence and Healthcare with PowerBI (in progress)

Course Overview (in progress)

This course introduces Power BI as a powerful tool for business intelligence and healthcare analytics. Participants will learn to connect, visualize, and analyze healthcare data using interactive dashboards and reports. Topics include data modeling, DAX calculations, and best practices for storytelling with data. By the end of the course, students will be able to build insightful, data-driven reports to support decision-making in healthcare organizations.

Projects in this course

In this project, you will apply supervised machine learning techniques to predict customer churn for a telecom company. Using a real-world dataset, you will:

  • Preprocess the data (handling missing values, encoding categorical features)
  • Train and evaluate models like Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and k-NN
  • Compare model performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score
  • Optimize models through hyperparameter tuning
  • Visualize insights with Matplotlib & Seaborn

By completing this project, you will gain hands-on experience in classification problems, model evaluation, and real-world data handling.
