ProInsight - Open-Sourced Code released

Are you in a health service looking to evaluate a potential digital health innovation/solution for use within your service? With so many available digital health solutions (e.g. for chronic disease management) how do you select, pilot and potentially scale the right one?

As part of the SEURO Project we have just open sourced a new tool called ProInsight developed by partners IBM which aims to help health services assess the potential impact of a digital health solution in practice (e.g. on outcomes such as health, well-being and cost effectiveness).

This is one of the most exciting developments from the project and has the potential to help health services optimise the selection of a #digitalhealth solution to their needs, making more cost-effective decisions to future implementation. If we are to help enable progressive, positive and scaled digital health transformation of services, tools such as ProInsight could have a significant impact.

In short ProInsight combines advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to predict the impact of digital health solutions, evaluate their effectiveness, and elucidate key factors influencing outcomes at both individual and population levels through its functionalities: Risk Prediction, Impact Evaluation, and Explainability. ProInsight offers a comprehensive approach to analyzing data from digital health solutions. It addresses significant challenges, such as dealing with multi-modal and longitudinal data, ensuring the interpretability of results, and operating in scenarios with small sample sizes. Integrating ProInsight into decision-making processes empowers healthcare organizations to make well-informed choices regarding the deployment, modification, or adoption of digital health initiatives

We have several papers in press that will be shared once published in the months ahead on the tool and related work. Over the next year focus will be on refining the tool and hopefully expanding its adoption and use.

We are also developing two further tools to help improve service organisational readiness and change to the adoption/implementation of a digital health solution(s). These will be released in 2025.
