Learning from Swedish Healthcare Data

We present two ongoing projects aimed at learning from health care records. The first project, DADEL, is focusing on high-performance data mining for detrecting adverse drug events in healthcare, and uses electronic patient records covering seven years of patient record data from the Stockholm region in Sweden. The second project is focusing on heart failure and on understanding the differences in treatment between various groups of patients. It uses a Swedish administrative health register containing health care data for over two million patients.
