Developing the First Patient-Centric Care Management System for Oncology
The Challenge
This AI project focuses on developing, deploying, and evaluating software to address three key challenges in oncology: the stochastic nature of patient flow, the difficulty of proactive capacity planning, and the coordination of multiple services that a single patient may require throughout their care trajectory. The project brings together a multi-province consortium of cancer centers and will use multiple algorithmic classes to address each of these challenges. These range from Machine Learning and Statistical Modeling for the prediction of patient flow to Operations Research algorithms that proactively determine the ideal set of resources required to sustain the predicted incoming patient flow.

“AI is an integral part of our innovation and development strategy. We believe in the importance of using this tool to improve medical decision-making, and therefore patient care, throughout their life trajectory.”
