We consider the problem of building accurate models that can predict, in the short term (2-3 years), the onset of one or more specific chronic conditions at individual level. Methods: We consider 5 chronic conditions: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension and cancer and build two different models that predict all possible combinations of these conditions. Covariates
Timely information and education can enhance the ability of consumers to make informed choices about their health, lifestyle and modifiable disease risk factors. Due to its unstructured and varied format, and lack of targeted delivery methods, information and knowledge does not often reach consumers, when they need it most. The aim of this project is
The paper presents an approach that applies social network theory to understand chronic disease progression.

A patient-centric approach to healthcare leads to an informal social network among medical professionals. This chapter presents a research framework to: identify the collaboration structure among physicians that is effective and efficient for patients; discover effective structural attributes of a collaboration network that evolves during the course of providing care; and explore the impact of

The healthcare sector deals with large volumes of electronic data related to patient services. This article describes two novel applications that leverage big data to detect fraud, abuse, waste, and errors in health insurance claims, thus reducing recurrent losses and facilitating enhanced patient care. The results indicate that claim anomalies detected using these applications help

Sanjay Chawla, Federico Girosi, Fei Wang “Data Science and the Policy Completion Problem” The link between policy analysis and data science is more delicate than it may appear. A new policy, by definition, will change the underlying data generating model, rendering classification or supervised learning inapplicable. Perhaps eliciting causal relations from observational data is the
The health industry consumes vast amounts of money and resources and is seen as a “black-hole” in many Government budgets. A ground breaking study using new science could save the industry millions and point the way for future research. Dr Shahadat Uddin CMCRC PhD Graduate Lecturer, U.
