Project summary
Despite increasing amounts of data from medical records that could be used to improve primary care, it is unclear how to use the data effectively.
I will develop a methodology to uncover relevant clinical actions directly from medical record data. I will build a user interface that continually improves the presentation of data for health professionals using randomised tests. I will evaluate how these methodologies translate to different healthcare systems in the UK and Canada and test a smartphone application that communicates these actions directly to patients.
This research will result in the development of a framework for generating and communicating clinical actions to practitioners and patients from medical record data, and specific software applications that can be used in clinical practice.
