Predictive Modeling for Healthcare Outcomes
Predictive Modeling can be used to identify risk factors, predict health outcomes, and personalize interventions for patients. By analyzing a variety of patient-level data, including demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors, healthcare providers can develop models that improve health outcomes. This approach has the potential to transform healthcare delivery by enabling personalized, data-driven care.
Examples: A healthcare provider wants to model pain scores for patients with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Cancer treatments can cause significant pain and discomfort, and pain management is an important aspect of cancer care. By modeling pain scores for these patients, healthcare providers can identify the factors that most strongly influence pain, such as the type of cancer, the location of the tumor, the stage of the disease, and the specific treatment regimen. The models can include also other variables like Demographic (age, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status), Medical history (presence of chronic pain conditions, history of surgery or other medical procedures, medication use), Psychological factors (anxiety, depression, stress), Lifestyle factors (physical activity, diet, sleep quality) etc. This information can help providers develop personalized pain management plans that optimize pain relief while minimizing side effects.

Indicative presentation of the data needed:
- The first column of the data file should contain the health outcome for individuals based on historical data.
- The following columns of the file must contain the values of historically recorded characteristics such as: Age, Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Socioeconomic Status, Presence of chronic pain conditions, History of surgery, Medication use, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Physical activity, Diet, Sleep quality, Type of cancer, Location of the tumor, Stage of the disease etc.

System prerequisites:
- Toolbox accepts xlsx or csv files.
- The first column should contain the data from the target variable (e.g. “Pain score”) the creation of which results from historical patient data.
- The target variable should not contain missing values.
- In case the user wants to make a forecast, he must enter the data of the customers for whom he needs the forecast, in the same file (excel or csv) as the historical data, provided that the first cell which is the target variable will not contain values (see Table 1).
Output:
After the data has been entered by the user and after a short period of time for its automatic analysis:
- A report of the results and the statistical methods used is extracted from the system.
- An excel is exported with the results for the forecast.
