Next step in big health data exploration with Viscovery SOMine
[News Viscovery]
Horn (NL) / Vienna (AT), 27 June 2019 Next step in big health data exploration with Viscovery SOMine
Together with Daisy Janssen and her colleagues from our long term customer CIRO+, we published the article Clustering of 27,525,663 death records from the United States Based on health conditions associated with death: an example of big health data exploration in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.
Following a population-based approach to palliative care, this article analyzes more than 27 million US death certificates from 2006 to 2016 with respect to common comorbidities, socio-demographic background and circumstances of death. Viscovery SOMine's Big Data capabilities are used to cluster the death records in the 346-dimensional space of health conditions, to identify population-based patterns, and to derive implications for palliative care.
