Inspiration

To predict future cases of dementia in order to facilitate the proper allocation of funds

What it does

Use drug prescriptions as a proxy to predict dementia incidence

How we built it

  • Data wrangling
  • Linear regression
  • Long short-term memory (LSTM)

Challenges we ran into

  • Data availability
  • Data cleaning

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to generate a time-series dataset that could easily be used with different machine learning models to predict dementia incidence

What we learned

  • Teamwork is key!
  • Time management
  • Data is not always clean
