Challenges, Methods, And Future Directions of Prediction: The Case of Recovery After Stroke

Abstract

Predictive methods are based on statistical models or machine learning techniques to estimate the risk of future outcomes based on historical data. It offers the opportunity of targeted early intervention and more specific information for patients and carers. In this talk, we discuss the characteristics and challenges in building predictive models using electronic health records, provide an overview of current recovery curve predictions, and outline several directions of future work that are relevant to monitoring recovery after stroke.
