Project Background:
The health record analysis stems from the increasing volume and complexity of medical data in healthcare systems. Traditional methods of managing and extracting valuable insights from health records are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. Deep learning models can be trained in health record analysis to recognize subtle patterns, correlations, and abnormalities within electronic health records (EHR), diagnostic images, and other healthcare data sources. It contributes to more accurate disease diagnosis, personalized treatment recommendations, and improved patient care. Integrating deep learning techniques in health record analysis aims to boostup the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of healthcare data management, ultimately fostering advancements in medical research and clinical decision-making.
