Predictive Analytics

Big Data in Healthcare

In this research we utilise a variety of big data sources for predictive modelling in a healthcare setting. Our research aims to:

  • Develop a framework for classifying patients.
  • Develop predictive models to identify high-risk patients.
  • Develop predictive models for describing patient pathways through the healthcare system.
  • Research methods of producing information to help healthcare managers control costs.

nzRISK: Understanding Surgical Risk based on New Zealand’s Unique Population

Deciding whether to have major surgery can be difficult for patients and clinicians alike. The benefits and risks need to be weighed up through a shared decision-making process. This is particularly true for high-risk populations. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori ...

Smart Medication Reconciliation

Automating for accuracy Patients’ regular medicines are often inaccurately prescribed when they transfer from hospital to home; a major source of medication errors and iatrogenic harm. Medicines reconciliation (MedRec) is an evidence-based process where clinicians manually compare a patient’s regular ...
