SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREDICTION OF UNNECESSARY EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for predicting unnecessary emergency room visits based on data collected by a wearable device such as an activity tracker or a smart watch. Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are configured to process an input vector that includes monitored parameter data collected by the wearable device as well as embedding data obtained from health records corresponding to a user account registered to the wearable device. The output of the AI algorithms provides classifiers that represent probabilities that the user of the wearable device is likely to experience one or more acute events within a specific time frame or time frames. The acute event can include an emergency room visit, which may be classified as unnecessary and/or preventable, and the user can be notified directly, via the wearable device or an associated application or technology, to attempt to deter preventable emergency room visits.
