Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Heart failure (HF) impacts millions of patients worldwide, yet the variability in treatment responses remains a major challenge for healthcare professionals. The current treatment strategies, largely derived from population based evidence, often fail to consider the unique characteristics of individual patients, resulting in suboptimal outcomes. This study aims to develop computational models that are patient-specific in predicting treatment outcomes, by utilizing a large Electronic Health Records (EHR) database. The goal is to improve drug response predictions by identifying specific HF patient subgroups that are likely to benefit from existing HF medications.
