Biography
Every patient’s symptom experience is unique and dynamic. Researchers and clinicians are unable to identify which patients will develop which symptoms and when. I use nursing documentation data in electronic health records to divide patients into groups based on similarity of symptom patterns using clustering analysis and predict symptom trajectories using a long short-term memory algorithm. The results can be applied to better tailor individualized symptom management to support patients’ quality of life.
