Description

The possibility of cancer recurrence in a patient is difficult to predict with insurance-level information. Electronic health record (EHR) data contains multiple facets of patient history that, when combined and viewed from a patient representation perspective, can highlight the encounter where a recurrence was discovered. Appropriately tagging and identifying these recurrences as they occur opens up opportunities to understand which factors lead to recurrence.

Asif Hasan and Adam Hammond dive into how Quantiphi’s machine learning expertise alongside scalable services like BigQuery, DataProc, and CMLE helped a healthcare provider develop a solution designed to predict the recurrence of cancer in patients and recommend appropriate medical care.
