Prædiktering af fremtidig behov under Serviceloven §83 og §83a vha AI-teknologi

Dette projekt vil anvende AI-teknologi til prædiktering af fremtidige behov for ydelser under Servicelovens §83 og §83a. Målet er at blive i stand til at forudsige et øget (eller reduceret) behov for hjælp med henblik på at etablere en tidlig og målrettet forebyggende indsats til gavn for borgeren, kommunen og samfundet.

De offentlige finanser er udfordret af et massivt demografisk pres på plejeområdet. Plejeområdet er en kommunal kerneopgave og det øgede demografisk pres betyder, at der er behov for effektiviseringer (eller en forøgelse af det offentlige forbrug) for at opretholde det nuværende niveau af ældreomsorg. Dette projekt skal udvikle en model til prædiktion af behov for ydelser under Servicelovens §83 og §83a med henblik på at sikre den rette pleje til rette tid. Det vil være med til at sikre, at ressourcerne allokeres til de rigtige ydelser.

Dette projekt udspringer af igangværende arbejde omkring brugen af AI-teknologi til identifikation af leverancer med høj risiko for afvigelser under Servicelovens §83 og §83a. Projektet har givet HUGIN og Hjørring Kommune øget indsigt i datagrundlaget og mulighederne for at anvende AI-teknologi i forbindelse med prædiktering af behov under Servicelovens §83 og §83a. Udgangspunktet for projektet er at prædiktere behov under Servicelovens §83 og §83a, men mulighederne i at være forudseende er ikke begrænset til Serviceloven.

Vi ønsker at tage skridtet fra monitorering og analyse af afvigelser mellem leverancer og bevillinger til prædiktion af behov for at kunne tilrettelægge en proaktiv indsats til gavn for borgeren, kommunen og samfundet.

Forudsigelse af patientstrømme i akutmodtagelsen ved Aalborg Universitetshospital

Dette projekt har til formål at anvende AI til at prædiktere patientstrømme og ventetid i Akut- og Traumecenter ved Aalborg Universitetshospital med henblik på at reducere ventetiden, forbedre arbejdsmiljøet og øge effektiviteten.

Beskrivelse af idé

Formålet med dette projekt er at anvende AI til at prædiktere patientstrømme og ventetid i Akut- og Traumecenter (ATC) ved Aalborg Universitetshospital med henblik på at reducere ventetiden, forbedre arbejdsmiljøet og øge effektiviteten. Projektet bygger videre på et allerede etableret samarbejde, som har udviklet en software-prototype til prædiktion af patientstrømme i ATC ved Aalborg Universitetshospital. Prædiktion af patientstrømme og ventetid i ATC kan fx medvirke til at mindske tidspresset for personalet, at koncentrere ressourcerne, når udfordringerne er størst, samt at give patienterne en bedre oplevelse af service. Arbejdet i dette projekt har fokus på at videreudvikle softwaren til at understøtte prædiktion af ventetid fra et patientperspektiv samt produktmodne den samlede løsning til udbredelse i andre akutmodtagelser. Projektet inkluderer en validering i praksis og en markedsanalyse, som skal lede til udarbejdelse af en Go-To-Market strategi for løsning.

Forudsigelse af patientstrømme i akutmodtagelsen ved Aalborg Universitetshospital

Beskrivelse af idé

Formålet med dette projekt er at udvikle en software-prototype til at understøtte vagtplanlægningen på akutmodtagelsen ved Aalborg Universitetshospital (Aalborg UH) med henblik på at sikre en bedre balance mellem kapacitet og behov. Projektets målsætning er bedre patientforløb med øget patientsikkerhed og reduceret ventetid, bedre udnyttelse af de økonomiske ressourcer og et bedre arbejdsmiljø for medarbejderne.

Vagtplanlægning på akutmodtagelsen ved Aalborg Universitetshospital er en kompliceret opgave. For at opretholde et effektivt sundhedsvæsen samt sikre en høj grad af patientsikkerhed i akutmodtagelsen er det nødvendigt, at vagtplanlægningen sikrer, at det nødvendige antal medarbejdere er tilstede, når det kræves. Tilsvarende er det vigtigt ikke at have overbemanding i perioder med mindre aktivitet for at sikre en økonomisk effektiv udnyttelse af ressourcerne. Projektet sigter mod at understøtte vagtplanlægning ved at forudsige patientstrømme på baggrund af data samt viden og erfaring.

Projektet bygger på en ny anvendelse af eksisterende teknologi (kendt som Bayesianske netværk) på forskellige videns-, erfarings- og datakilder samt udvikling af ny software til at understøtte vagtplanlægningen. Tilgangen er unik i forhold til at kombinere data med eksisterende viden og erfaring til at lave bedre forudsigelser af patientstrømme. Resultatet af projektet vil være en softwareprototype, der vil kunne anvendes af Aalborg UH og som vil være parat til markedstest.

Identifikation af leverancer med høj risiko for afvigelser under Serviceloven §83 og §83a

Beskrivelse af idé

Den kommunale forvaltning i Danmark har en meget stor grad af digitalisering i forhold til andre lande, som vi normalt sammenligner os med. På trods af den store grad af digitalisering benyttes kunstigintelligens og maskinlæring kun i begrænset udstrækning til at automatisere tids- og ressourcekrævende opgaver. Det giver en unik mulighed for at udnytte kunstig intelligens og maskinlæring til beslutningsstøtte til gavn for borgeren, kommunen og samfundet.

En automatisk proces kan være med til at sikre at uoverensstemmelser mellem leverede og bevilgede ydelser til borgerne bliver identificeret og rettet tidligst muligt. Det kan desuden medvirke til at eliminere en evt. mistillid mellem leverandør og bevillingsgiver. Ved uoverensstemmelser i leverancerne er der også risiko for, at der opstår et brud på tilliden mellem leverandør og aftager.

En løsning til identifikation af uoverensstemmelser i leverancerne kan have stor værdi for den enkelte borger (evt. afvigelser korrigeres tidligere, hvilket giver en bedre kvalitet for borgeren), kommunen (reducerede omkostninger, bedre udnyttelse af ressourcer og overblik over leverancer i forhold til bevilgede ydelser) og samfundsøkonomisk via direkte og indirekte besparelser.

Den store grad af digitalisering i den kommunale forvaltning giver en unik chance for at udnytte kunstig intelligens og maskinlæring teknologi til at udvikle løsninger, som kan erstatte tunge manuelle processer, sikre bedre forebyggelse og en mere ensartet og effektivudnyttelse af eksisterende ressourcer og som kan understøttesagsbehandling af bevillinger. Derfor ønsker vi at gennemføre dette pilotprojekt, som første trin mod udbredt anvendelse af kunstig intelligens og maskinlæring indenfor den kommunale forvaltning.

CytoCam

HUGIN participates in CytoCam, a project under the Eurostars-EUREKA Programme. CytoCam aims to reduce the number of people who fall ill due to Campylobacter infected chickens through the development of an innovative feed additive from transgenic barley seeds. The feed additive contains a bioactive protein that can significantly reduce the 3-log Campylobacter count in the chicken gut. HUGIN will create a cost/reward decision-making application that can demonstrate the benefits of the feed to farmers.
