T. Wiegand, L. Velezmoro

A hands-on introduction to the AI algorithms that matter in medicine, from the underlying mathematics to Python code you can run yourself.

Most introductions to medical AI stop at the level of analogy. This one does not: it explains the algorithms that matter in medicine in plain terms, then shows the mathematics underneath them and the code that implements them.

The book moves from foundational concepts through the mathematical principles to Python programming, with code examples throughout. A recurring theme is error identification: recognising where a model has gone wrong, and why a good-looking result may not survive contact with clinical data.

It is written for medical students, researchers and practitioners who want to analyse medical data themselves, or to build AI-based tools rather than only evaluate them. No prior programming background is assumed.
