Data provide insight into patient characteristics, lifestyles, illnesses, care outcomes, and the links between them. Analyzing this data also makes it possible, for instance, to better predict hospital workloads, such as in the ER. In the coming years Amsterdam UMC intends to make optimal and responsible use of this data in order to demonstrably improve patient health
We won’t be doing it alone, but together with our regional partners, in the ‘AI Technology for People’ partnership. This is about people, after all” - says Mat Daemen, vice-dean of research at Amsterdam UMC.
‘AI Technology for People’ is a joint initiative bringing together the city of Amsterdam, knowledge institutes, hospitals and enterprises in the Amsterdam area. The partners will work together on a number of innovative projects, including the improvement of health care provision through data-derived information.
