Predicting medication adherence using ensemble learning and deep learning models with large scale healthcare data
Abstract Clinical studies from WHO have demonstrated that only 50–70% of patients adhere properly to prescribed drug therapy. Such adherence failure can impact therapeutic efficacy for the patients in question and compromises data quality around the population-level efficacy of the drug for the indi...
