IDAL member prof. Emilio Soria presented a invited speak called “Predictive Analytics on Healthcare” during the Second Workshop on the Physics of Cancer. The workshop was organized by the Valencian Institute of Oncology (IVO, Instituto Valenciano de Oncología) and took place on the 17th of May of 2016. The 21st century may be the century where all sciences meet and converge. The fusion of physics, biology, mathematics, engineering, medicine and data science may well be one of the most fruitful ones in the history of humanity, and indeed the most useful one in the fight against cancer. In particular, predictive analytics (PA) uses technology and statistical methods to search through massive amounts of information, analyzing it to predict outcomes for individual patients. Therefore, predictions can range from responses to medications to hospital readmission rates, achieving an improvement on the Healthcare system in different ways.
