Machine learning outperforms clinical experts in classification of hip fractures.

Scientific reports
Hip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, and incur high health and social care costs. Given projected population ageing, the number of incident hip fractures is predicted to increase globally. As fracture classificat...

Deep learning for prediction of population health costs.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of healthcare costs is important for optimally managing health costs. However, methods leveraging the medical richness from data such as health insurance claims or electronic health records are missing.

Machine learning versus regression modelling in predicting individual healthcare costs from a representative sample of the nationwide claims database in France.

The European journal of health economics : HEPAC : health economics in prevention and care
BACKGROUND: Innovative provider payment methods that avoid adverse selection and reward performance require accurate prediction of healthcare costs based on individual risk adjustment. Our objective was to compare the performances of a simple neural ...

A machine learning approach to predict healthcare cost of breast cancer patients.

Scientific reports
This paper presents a novel machine learning approach to perform an early prediction of the healthcare cost of breast cancer patients. The learning phase of our prediction method considers the following two steps: (1) in the first step, the patients ...

Design Comorbidity Portfolios to Improve Treatment Cost Prediction of Asthma Using Machine Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Comorbidity is an important factor to consider when trying to predict the cost of treating asthma patients. When an asthmatic patient suffered from comorbidity, the cost of treating such a patient becomes dependent on the nature of the comorbidity. T...

Improving Global Healthcare and Reducing Costs Using Second-Generation Artificial Intelligence-Based Digital Pills: A Market Disruptor.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Improving global health requires making current and future drugs more effective and affordable. While healthcare systems around the world are faced with increasing costs, branded and generic drug companies are facing the challenge of creating market...

Machine Learning Improves the Identification of Individuals With Higher Morbidity and Avoidable Health Costs After Acute Coronary Syndromes.

Value in health : the journal of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research
OBJECTIVES: Traditional risk scores improved the definition of the initial therapeutic strategy in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but they were not designed for predicting long-term individual risks and costs. In parallel, attempts to directly predic...

Learning hidden patterns from patient multivariate time series data using convolutional neural networks: A case study of healthcare cost prediction.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: To develop an effective and scalable individual-level patient cost prediction method by automatically learning hidden temporal patterns from multivariate time series data in patient insurance claims using a convolutional neural network (CN...

Feature Selection for Health Care Costs Prediction Using Weighted Evidential Regression.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Although many authors have highlighted the importance of predicting people's health costs to improve healthcare budget management, most of them do not address the frequent need to know the reasons behind this prediction, i.e., knowing the factors tha...
