Presents engineering techniques for healthcare data analysis, focusing on real-world challenges and practical solutions.
In this project we immerse ourselves in feature engineering for medical datawhere precision is essential. This is a comprehensive project that will take you through each phase of data analysis. Enjoy the journey and don't miss the recommended resources along the way.
Hospital readmissions (when discharged patients return to the hospital shortly after leaving) are a costly problem that exposes gaps in health systems. In the United States alone, rehospitalizations of diabetic patients cost more than $300 million annually.
By identifying high-risk patients, healthcare teams can further investigate and, in many cases, prevent these readmissions. This proactive approach not only saves money; also improves quality of care.
Diabetes is he seventh cause of death worldwideaffecting 23.6 million in the US and millions more around the world. He American Diabetes Association reports that treating diabetic and prediabetic patients in the US involves the highest healthcare costs in the world.
