Analyzing records of more than 45,000 Boston Medical Center patients, the new algorithms predict about 80% of hospitalizations with few false positives. Prediction enables prevention which can improve outcomes and reduce the more than $9B spent annually in the US on preventable heart-related hospitalizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wuyang Dai, a 2015 graduate of NOC, received the College of Engineering 2015 Societal Impact Dissertation Award for his thesis &#8220;Detection and Prediction Problems with Applications in Personalized Health Care.&#8221; The thesis developed algorithmic methods to support personalized preventive medicine.
