Task

Hospital of Bellvitge, is one of the great public hospitals in Barcelona. They have a huge volume of historic data about patients, and they want to extract value from this data. One of projects that they believe will generate value is creating a model to detect behavior patterns and evolution of certain diseases. With this information in advance, professional healthcare teams can establish the measures to be adopted to reduce the impact of the diseases, in terms of affected people, duration of treatment, and severity of the disease.
