While there is huge interest into predictive models in health in the UK and elsewhere in Europe and the USA, there is little research taking advantage of the latest developments in machine learning, e.g. deep learning. This project will develop statistical and machine learning (including deep learning) models for solving a few predictive modelling tasks in healthcare. These models would identify the patients at high risk of an event (e.g. emergency readmission, heart failure, risk of death, long term care placement), and can be of use to many healthcare providers (hospitals, clinicians) or purchasers (primary care trusts, local authorities). The goal is to share our expertise in health care modelling with colleagues in Tashkent and develop their skills in this area. Our activities will include a dissemination/networking event (round-table discussions) in Tashkent.
